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.

More than 10 years after Parenting Your Adult Child was published, much has changed—including young adults themselves, as well as their parents. Economic upheavals, challenges to traditional values and beliefs, the phenomenon of over-involved "helicopter parenting"—all make relating to grown children more difficult than ever. Yet at the same time, being a parent of an adult child can bring great rewards.

The pressures faced by children and adolescents today are unprecedented and the corresponding statistics around poor mental health deeply alarming. Behind every mental health issue, from addiction to ADHD, lies a host of underlying problems that need addressing, but as a worried parent it's hard to know where to focus. What do you do if your child struggles with anxiety? Is self-harming? Has developed an unhealthy relationship with eating, exercise, technology or alcohol?  

This is a story about birds and fathers. About the young magpie that fell from its nest in a Bermondsey junkyard into Charlie Gilmour's life - and swiftly changed it. Demanding worms around the clock, riffling through his wallet, sharing his baths and roosting in his hair.... About the jackdaw kept at a Cornish stately home by Heathcote Williams, anarchist, poet, magician, stealer of Christmas and Charlie's biological father who vanished from his life in the dead of night. 

You know something has changed. Maybe your mother is struggling with the house. Maybe your father is having a harder time managing the things he used to handle without thinking. Maybe you have started doing more, worrying more, checking in more, and wondering how long you can keep doing it this way. So you bring up home care. And your parent says: “I’m fine.” Or: “I don’t need anyone.” Or: “I can take care of myself.” You try again. They push back. You explain. They get defensive. You leave the conversation frustrated, worried, and wondering what you are supposed to do next.

How to Heal from an Emotionally Absent Father targets the specific wound left by a dad who was physically present but emotionally nowhere to be found. Using somatic psychology, it takes you beyond talk therapy into the body-based work that actually reaches this kind of invisible trauma—releasing trapped grief, dismantling the core beliefs that have quietly run your relationships, and helping you recognize trauma-bonded patterns so you can finally choose love from wholeness instead of hunger.

The Estrangement Recovery Plan is a compassionate, practical guide designed to help parents, adult children, and anyone affected by family estrangement understand what happened, process the grief, rebuild emotional resilience, and create a meaningful life regardless of whether the relationship is eventually repaired.

Some things can only be understood from the other side. You didn't see it then—the exhaustion behind the patience, the love behind the silence, the sacrifice tucked inside an ordinary Tuesday. You were too young, too busy, too close to notice. But you're older now. And somewhere along the way, without anyone announcing it, you began to understand your father differently.
