Description
Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Maté explore a pressing concern: the growing influence of peers on children, leading to a breakdown in family cohesion and healthy development. This trend is undermining the values and identity of young people, resulting in a conformist, desensitized, and alienated youth culture. The authors argue that this "peer orientation" is a result of various factors, including the decline of parental influence. They offer practical advice on how to re-establish a strong family bond, create a safe and secure environment, and earn back children's loyalty and love. This updated edition also addresses the unique challenges posed by digital devices and social media. By understanding the causes of this trend and implementing effective strategies, parents can help their children develop into confident, secure, and well-adjusted individuals.
