Hold on to your children

The well-known psychologist, recognized for his ability to penetrate the core of complex educational issues, along with the doctor and author of best-selling books, united to address one of the most alarming and misunderstood trends of our time – peers replacing parents in our children's lives. Dr. Newfield named this phenomenon "peer orientation," which refers to children's and youths' tendency to look to their peers for guidance: to distinguish right from wrong, and to draw values, identity, and rules of conduct. But peer orientation undermines family cohesion, disrupts the school climate, and promotes a youth culture characterized by aggression and sexuality. This trend offers a compelling explanation for school bullying and youth violence, and its effects are painfully evident in the context of teenage gangs, criminal activities, and tragic incidents as seen in Littleton, Colorado, Tabor, Alberta, Victoria, and British Columbia. It is an increasing trend that has not received enough explanation or refutation until the publication of the book "Hold on to Your Children." Once this trend is understood, it becomes self-evident, just like the solutions. This book will restore education to its natural, innate roots, as well as re-establish the proper relationship between parents and children. The concepts, principles, and practical advice in "Hold on to Your Children" will enable parents to meet their children's innate need for guidance by transforming these parents into sources of authority, connection, and warmth.
