Duct Tape Parenting by Vicki Hoefle
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.
"[Hoefle's] conjuncture that a misbehaving child is a discouraged child carries the weight of truthBy letting kids work out their own kinks, parents will have more time in the long run to enjoy their children and the parenting journey." -- Library Journal, August 2013
