Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Children take their lead from their friends: being 'cool' matters more than anything else. Shaping values, identity and codes of behaviour, peer groups are often far more influential than parents.
But this situation is far from natural, and it can be dangerous - it undermines family cohesion, interferes with healthy development and fosters a hostile and sexualised youth culture. Children end up becoming conformist, anxious and alienated.
In Hold on to Your Kids, acclaimed physician and best-selling author Gabor Maté joins forces with Gordon Neufeld, a psychologist with a reputation for penetrating to the heart of complex parenting. Together they pinpoint the causes of this breakdown and offer practical advice on how to 'reattach' to sons and daughters, establish the hierarchy at home, make children feel safe and understood, and earn back your children's loyalty and love. This updated edition also addresses the unprecedented parenting challenges posed by the rise of digital devices and social media.
By helping to reawaken our instincts, Maté and Neufeld empower parents to be what nature intended: a true source of contact, security and warmth for their children.

A must read for all parents
Listening to this as the mother of a relatively mature 17 year old ...almost adult only child..I wish I'd read it when he was small..but it is still useful to read even at this age..

A must read book for adults who didn't grow as a child.
this book did not only provided guidance on how to hold on to your kids but also opens doors to resolve your own childhood issues and not to pass them to your children. becoming a buffer to society is the best thing for a child by a parent. it feels like the author know about your soul and writes content for it.
