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 children 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 dad always wanted to write...but never dared."

— 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 path to perfection, but as an ongoing repair job held together by love, sleep, and yes, the ocassional strip of duct tape.
