Dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, le rôle de parent est de plus en plus difficile.
Nous nous heurtons à une concurrence insidieuse qui menace d'éloigner nos enfants de nous et, simultanément, nous nous éloignons de notre rôle parental. Nous ne disposons plus de la base économique et sociale qui permet à une culture de soutenir les parents et de considérer leur mission comme sacrée. En fait, pour être de bons parents dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, nous devons avant tout identifier ce qui cloche dans l'éducation de nos enfants et de nos adolescents.
Cette prise de conscience nous aidera à relever un défi crucial: établir avec nos enfants des relations dans lesquelles nous prendrons l'initiative de les guider sans recourir à la coercition ni aux sanctions artificielles. C'est dans le cadre de cette relation que nos enfants pourront se développer et devenir des êtres motivés, autonomes, conscients de leur valeur et respectueux des sentiments, des droits et de la dignité de leurs semblables.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER This parenting classic on one of the most disturbing and misunderstood trends of our time--peers replacing parents in the lives of children--is now more relevant than ever. The latest edition includes new material on how social media and video game culture are affecting our children, and what parents can do. In Hold On to Your Kids , Dr. Neufeld and Dr. Maté explore the phenomenon of peer orientation: the troubling tendency of children and youth to look to their peers for direction--for a sense of right and wrong, for values, identity and codes of behaviour. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, poisons the school atmosphere, and fosters an aggressively hostile and sexualized youth culture. It provides a powerful explanation for schoolyard bullying and youth violence; it is an escalating trend that has never been adequately described or contested until Hold On to Your Kids . Once understood, it becomes self-evident--as do the solutions.

International authority on child development Gordon Neufeld, Ph.D., joins forces with bestselling author Gabor Maté, M.D., to tackle one of the most disturbing trends of our time: Children today looking to their peers for direction--their values, identity, and codes of behavior. This peer orientation undermines family cohesion, interferes with healthy development, and fosters a hostile and sexualized youth culture. Children end up becoming overly conformist, desensitized, and alienated, and being cool matters more to them than anything else. Hold On to Your Kids explains the causes of this crucial breakdown of parental influence--and demonstrates ways to reattach to sons and daughters, establish the proper hierarchy in the home, make kids feel safe and understood, and earn back your childrens loyalty and love. This updated edition also specifically addresses the unprecedented parenting challenges posed by the rise of digital devices and social media. By helping to reawaken instincts innate to us all, Neufeld and Maté will empower parents to be what nature intended: a true source of contact, security, and warmth for their children.
