Duct Tape Dad
by Dr. Amanda Meltzer
Some days, parenting really does feel like it’s held together with duct tape. This book is for those days — and all the ones in between.
Drawing on years of clinical practice Dr. Amanda Meltzer offers a refreshingly honest, deeply compassionate guide to raising kids without losing yourself in the process.
It’s the book you’ll dog-ear, lend to a friend, and return to when things feel impossibly hard — and quietly, unexpectedly beautiful.
About the Book
A field guide to falling apart, beautifully.
Psychiatrist · Author · Speaker
“I help people make sense of what feels overwhelming — and build systems that actually work for their lives.”
"The book your therapist would write if your therapist was also funnier than your favorite stand-up."
— Wellington Reviews
Drawn from years of clinical practice, hundreds of patient conversations, and her own front-line experience growing up with the original Duct Tape Dad as a chaos-tolerant father, this book reframes parenthood not as a craft to perfect but as an ongoing repair job — held together by love, sleep, and yes, the occasional length of duct tape.
