Today’s children are increasingly looking to their peers, rather than their parents, for direction in their values, identity, and codes of behaviour. But this ‘peer orientation’ can interfere with healthy development, leading to anxiety, disconnection, and behavioural challenges.

In this groundbreaking parenting book, acclaimed physician and bestselling author Gabor Maté joins forces with clinical psychologist and child development expert Dr Gordon Neufeld to explain the cause of this breakdown of parental influence and offer practical advice on how to rebuild a strong, healthy relationship with your child.

Hold On To Your Kids will show you how to:

Strengthen your bond and reconnect with your child Help children resist peer pressure and social media influence Build trust, authority and security at home Support your child’s emotional wellbeing and mental health Raise confident, resilient children

This updated edition also includes a new chapter on post-pandemic parenting and youth mental health.

Blending child psychology and real-world advice, this book will empower parents to help their children thrive in the digital era and become a true source of contact, security, and warmth for their kids.
