Hold on to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers by Gabor Maté, Gordon Neufeld

Did not finish book. Stopped at 18%.

Honestly as someone who specializes is child mental health and as mother, I found there was a lot of finger pointing at parents. It’s been proven time and time again a child grows up better in a heathy society. And parents alone will not be the only influence. On top of that it’s natural for kids to, once they hit pre teen years, start looking at peers for more of their social cues. To try and stop that can actually cause an issue with parent/child relationships. 
There might be better information later in the book. But honestly I’ve got such a long line of TBR books that I’m not interested in finishing this one.
