"Hold On to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers" by Gordon Neufeld (PhD) and Gabor Maté (MD) examines the critical role of parental attachment in child development. The authors argue that modern society's emphasis on peer relationships undermines this bond, leading to behavioral and emotional challenges in children. They provide insights into fostering strong parent-child connections to guide healthy development and counteract negative peer influences. This book is essential for parents aiming to strengthen their influence and nurture their children's well-being.
