Description
Children often take their lead from their friends, with being “cool” seeming more important than anything else. Peer groups shape values, identity and codes of behaviour and can become far more influential than parents. This situation is neither natural nor harmless: it undermines family cohesion, interferes with healthy development and fosters a hostile, sexualised youth culture, leaving children conformist, anxious and alienated. In this book, physician and author Gabor Maté joins psychologist Gordon Neufeld to identify the causes of this breakdown and offer practical advice on reconnecting with sons and daughters, establishing the hierarchy at home, helping children feel safe and understood and regaining their loyalty and love. This updated edition also addresses the unprecedented parenting challenges created by digital devices and social media. By helping parents reawaken their instincts, Maté and Neufeld empower them to become what nature intended: a true source of contact, security and warmth for their children.
