Publisher Description
There’s a new set of 3Rs for our kids—respect, responsibility, and resilience—to better prepare them for life in the real world. Once developed, these skills let kids take charge, and let parents step back, to the benefit of all. Casting hover mothers and helicopter parents aside, Vicki Hoefle encourages a different, counter-intuitive, yet much more effective, approach to parenting: for parents to sit on their hands, stay on the sidelines—even if duct tape is required! Witty and straight-shooting, Duct Tape Parenting entertains as it informs parents how to do less in order to raise more confident, capable children. Includes a foreword by Alex Kajitani, the 2009 California Teacher of the Year and Finalist National Teacher of the Year.

" pretty good read. A lot of the stuff I already knew, but I liked how it was presented. Great reminders to step back sometimes and let our kids figure things out on their own. "

" Reads like a sales pitch at times and gets redundant. I did take a different approach with my son on his morning routine after reading the beginning and that has worked well. After that, I lost interest in finishing the book. But will probably go back to it for approach ideas when the need arises. "
