Synopsis

Canadian doctors Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Maté explore why children are becoming increasingly secretive and hostile towards adults, prioritizing peer relationships. They argue that societal values often undermine strong adult-child attachments, leading to children becoming "peer oriented." This insightful book offers numerous solutions for parents and caregivers to reestablish a caring adult hierarchy and foster healthier child development.
