Hold on to Your Kids
Hold on to Your Kids, Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers by Gorden Neufeld, Ph.D. and Gabor Mate M.D. is a parenting book I think all parents should read. Updated to include a section on raising kids in a digital world, this is a profound rethinking of how we are raising our kids.
Rather than looking to their peers for direction, values, and identity, children should be looking toward their parents and the adults in their life for guidance. This is something we have lost in our culture and this book shows how important it is for us to collect our children, nurture them and be their compass point.
A highly recommended read.
