Hold on to Your Kids: Why Parents Need to Matter More Than Peers by Gabor Maté, Gordon Neufeld
4.0
This book is chock full of information on attachment, addressing both the problems with attaching to peers and not parents, and discussing ways of switching these two conditions.
The chapters are well laid out, the author uses helpful examples, and the techniques are straightforward. What is likely the most difficult aspect is the timing. It is, of course, easier to establish attachment when kids are younger, rather than trying to catch up when the pees have taken hold.
My only complaint in this book is that there was quite a bit of repetition of concepts. Maybe to drive the pints home? In any case, I was able to pull out the nuggets that were truly valuable to me in my work.
A great textbook on parenting and raising children in our new world order of individuality and peer prioritization.
