About this listen

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, counterintuitive, 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.

lots of things to think about that you may not consider when you are busy working and raising children. I haven't given five stars as I think it's repetitive in places and rather than lots of other people's stories some more practical tips of what to do, not just what not to do, would have helped the book. Overall well worth the read and some great take away points to reflect on.

Good advice to reflect on as a parent
