A psychologist known for his ability to penetrate complex parenting issues, a physician and best-selling author team up to tackle one of the most disturbing and poorly understood trends of our time--peers replacing parents in our children's lives. Dr. has launched. Neufeld gives this phenomenon the name "peer orientation", which E
The tendency of children and young people to look to their peers for guidance: to distinguish between right and wrong, and to elicit values, identity and norms of behaviour. But the orientation towards peers undermines family cohesion, disturbs the school climate, and promotes a culture of aggressive and sexual youth. This trend provides a powerful explanation for school bullying and youth violence, and its effects are most evident in the context of teenage gangs, criminal activity, and tragedies such as in Littleton, Colorado, Tabor, Alberta, Victoria, and British Columbia. It is an upward trend that was not sufficiently explained or refuted until the publication of the book “Hold on to Your Children.” And once this trend is absorbed, it becomes self-explanatory, as is the case with solutions.
This book will restore education to its natural innate origin, as well as the relationship between parents and children to their rightful place. The concepts, principles, and practical tips in Hold on to Your Kids will enable parents to fulfill their children's innate need for guidance by turning them into a source of authority, connection, and warmth.
