This parenting classic using one of the very most disturbing and misunderstood trends of our time–peers replacing parents in the lives of children–is now more relevant than ever before. The latest release includes new materials on how social media marketing and video game culture are influencing our kids, and what parents can perform.

In Hold To Your Kids, Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Maté explore the phenomenon of peer orientation: the troubling tendency of kids and youngsters to turn to their peers for direction–for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identification and rules of behavior. But peer orientation undermines family members cohesion, poisons the institution atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youngsters culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youngsters violence; it really is an escalating trend that has by no means been adequately referred to or contested until Retain Your Kids. Once realized, it turns into self-evident–as perform the solutions.
