A wake-up call to parental instincts!

It is a disturbing trend of our time: children and adolescents are increasingly orienting themselves towards their peers - their values, their identity, and their behavioral rules. This peer orientation undermines family cohesion, hinders healthy development, and fosters a hostile and sexualized youth culture. Children become excessively conformist, desensitized, and alienated. Being cool is more important to them than anything else.

In this book, the two renowned experts in child development, Dr. Gordon Neufeld and Dr. Gabor Maté, address this phenomenon and explain the causes of the diminishing parental influence. They outline ways to reconnect sons and daughters, restore the natural hierarchy in the home, give children a sense of being understood, and regain their loyalty and love. The book also discusses the handling of digital devices and social media. This parenting guide helps desperate parents rediscover their instincts to fulfill the role that nature intended for them: to provide their offspring with support, security, and warmth.

Dr. Gordon Neufeld is a psychologist, internationally recognized as an expert in child development and founder of the Neufeld Institute International. Through his organization, he offers courses for parents and professionals worldwide.

Dr. Gabor Maté is a physician and author of international bestsellers such as "When the Body Says No," "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts," and "Scattered Minds." He is an expert on topics such as stress, child development, ADHD, parenting, and addiction.
