HOLD ON TO YOUR KIDS Study Guide

First published in 2004, Hold On to Your Kids is the rare book that has become more, rather than less, relevant as the years have passed. Dr. Neufeld’s highly readable exploration of the phenomenon of peer orientation–what it is, how it impedes healthy development and what we can do to reverse its adverse effects–has transformed the lives of many families with its vital message. 

The Hold On To Your Kids Study Guide includes chapter-by-chapter discussion questions as well as an abundant collection of additional resources. We hope that this free guide will inspire the creation of book study groups – in schools, churches, synagogues, mosques and community centres – so that more parents, teachers and grandparents can access and explore together the rich and necessary insights that Dr. Neufeld provides in the book.

Based on science and the relational developmental approach of renowned psychologist Gordon Neufeld, Rest, Play, Grow reveals how adults have a critical role to play in creating the conditions for young children to flourish.
