High Touch Initiative
Team Children began as a project by Robert Toporek, an Advanced Certified Rolf Practitioner since 1975, and Dr. Ida P. Rolf, the founder of Rolfing/Structural Integration. The initial purpose was to document, demonstrate and promote the benefits of Rolfing for babies and children. Since Dr. Rolf’s death in 1979, Robert has substantially expanded that initial effort. Robert has published a monograph and an award-winning documentary entitled “The Promise of Rolfing Children.”

In 1971, Robert was awarded a one-year leadership development fellowship by the Ford Foundation. This enabled him to study extensively with some of the top leaders in the field of human potential. Robert is also a decorated Vietnam veteran.
At Team Children, our volunteers are passionate about the power and importance of touch and technology to make a worldwide difference.
Review About "Hands-on Parenting"
It is a great book. Not only is it about massage, with intricate and detailed steps, but it is also a philosophy of living, with overall points about living carefully and fully. The step-by-step process you outline for aiding children required great detail in writing and you did it extremely well. Having written and copy-edited a number of books myself I can recognize and appreciate a good job when it is done and the effort that went into your book. I very much liked some of the insights into your philosophy of living, your distinction between reacting and responding, your mention of the Rolfing a Downs syndrome child who eventually graduated from college, and your story about Emperor Frederick II.
