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

This was a really valuable read for parents or those who work closely with parents and children. While I wish the evidence base they presented was stronger, the hypothesis is clear and difficult to disagree with, and they did an incredible job at debunking and explaining specific myths about parenting and development. The emphasis on the relationship between parent/child, rather than what words are spoken or tangible/material actions was also really helpful. I will revisit this in future.
