Hold on to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers by Gabor Maté, Gordon Neufeld
3.0
I agree with the general message of this book - take the time to connect with your kids and establish a healthy, loving relationship. Kids need a stable adult connection more than a bunch of friends.
I did feel like it was pretty repetitive and he just talked in circles and beat a dead horse, particularly the first half (explaining the horrors that abound when kids attach to their peers instead of their parents).
I did find value in this book and will apply it to my parenting, although, honestly, it was already my parenting style so I don't have to change much. I homeschool my kids so we are able to maintain a close relationship and I love them for who they are and try to show that.
