Gordon Neufeld og Gabor Matés moderne klassiker og internationale bestseller fra 2004 (Hold on to Your Kids. Why Parents Need to Matter more than Peers) er en åben invitation til alle forældre, der ønsker at opdrage deres barn på en måde, så den vigtige RELATION – nemlig den til forældre og andre vigtige voksne i barnets liv – altid er i fokus. Men bogen er ikke kun skrevet med henblik på forældreopgaven. Alle med interesse for børn og unge, ja, alle der arbejder professionelt i feltet, kan høste uvurderlige erkendelser gennem bogen. Og i særlig grad alle unge studerende inden for felter, der beskæftiger sig med dette arbejde – pædagoger, lærere, psykologer, sagsbehandlere, socialrådgivere, sygeplejersker, læger etc. Bogen er banebrydende inden for pædagogisk forståelse og handling og oplagt som fast pensum på en lang række studier. Gordon Neufelds sigte med bogen er at hjælpe os til at genskabe den intuitive viden om de vigtige relationer, som danner grundlag for barnets mulighed for at blomstre og udfolde sit potentiale som menneske. Udgangspunktet for Neufelds paradigme er hans helt særlige tilknytningsmodel. Tilknytningsmodellen beskriver 6 trin, som ideelt set skulle udfolde sig i barnets første 6 til 9 leveår. Den dybeste tilknytning er til eksempel den, der ligger til grund for, at det kan lykkes for et menneske at bryde den sociale arv. Tilknytningsmodellen åbner døre til en dyb indsigt i menneskenaturen, og med den som baggrund bliver barnets modningsprocesser forståelige, og dermed alt det, der befordrer disse, og alt det, der kan komme i vejen. Når vi ved, hvad der kunne være, har vi mulighed for at se, hvad der mangler, og finde vejen tilbage.Gordon Neufeld tager i bogen armtag med mange aspekter af vores samfund, som ikke er befordrende for vores børn. Han er på børnenes side, og han er på forældrenes side, og de voksne med ansvar for børns udvikling. Bogen har siden dens udgivelse i 2004 været en øjenåbner for forældre og folk i hele verden, der på den ene eller anden måde arbejder professionelt med børn, og den er p.t. oversat til 25 sprog. I genudgivelsen fra 2013 har Gordon Neufeld tilføjet 2 kapitler (som også er med i den danske udgivelse) om opdragelse i den digitale tidsalder. Han kommer her ind på, hvad det er for stærke kræfter, vi har med at gøre i de digitale medier, og hvordan vi kan gennemskue deres påvirkning på vores børns udvikling, så vi kan navigere i dette helt nye felt og styre det, der skal styres, som ansvarlige voksne, i stedet for at børn og unge bliver kørt over af det.Bogen er skrevet i et klart, tilgængeligt og fortællende sprog, hvor forfatteren tager os med ind i hverdagssituationer med børn og forældre, som de fleste af os sikkert kan genkende. Bogens indhold er relevant for forældre til børn i alle aldre, fra småbørn og helt frem til voksne børn. Oversættelsen fra canadisk til dansk varetages af Grete Lyngdorf, der gennem tretten år har formidlet Gordon Neufelds materiale til danske forældre og professionelle gennem NEUFELD KURSER I DANMARK.
