PARENT RESOURCES
Hold on to Your Kids – Why Parents Need to Matter More than Peers By Dr. Gordon Neufeld and Dr. Gabor Mate
If there was one book I could give to all parents, it would be this book. Dr Neufeld is a clinical psychologist from Vancouver who has written a profound book that tackles one of the most disturbing and misunderstood trends of our time - peers replacing parents in the lives of our children; a phenomenon he calls 'peer orientation'. As home-educating parents we have a huge advantage in this area, but we often lose our advantage because we are duped by the false myths regarding socialization in our culture today. Dr Neufeld's book is filled with information, workable ideas and hope. This book will either change your relationship with your children and how you view your role as a parent, or it will give you huge affirmation and clarification about what you are already doing.
