Duct Tape Parenting

This is a book I should have had when my kids were growing up, and I needed a little advice on how to raise them, while I looked back on myself, and trying to balance both. It comes highly recommended from someone raising his own. I don't know how he stumbled on it, but he feels that it is well worth the price. All the reviews I read seems to acknowledge the same thing, so I encourage you to give it a look. The following description comes from the Amazon summary. If you go to their page for this book, there is also a short audio.

Duct Tape Parenting: A Less Is More Approach to Raising Respectful, Responsible, and Resilient Kids

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: for parents to sit on their hands, stay on the sidelines, even if duct tape is required, so that the kids step up. Duct Tape Parenting gives parents a new perspective on what it means to be effective, engaged parents and to enable kids to develop confidence through solving their own problems. This is not a book about the parenting strategy of the day—what the author calls “Post-It Note Parenting”—but rather a relationship-based guide to span all ages and stages of development. Witty, straight-shooting Hoefle addresses frustrated parents everywhere who are ready to raise confident, capable children to go out in the world.
