Author Vicki Hoefle will discuss and sign copies of her book “Straight Talk on Parenting: A No-Nonsense Approach on How to Grow a Grown-Up” on Monday, June 1, at 6:30 p.m. at Bridgeside Books, 29 Stowe St., Waterbury.
Parents these days are under a great deal of pressure to be “perfect.” From psychologists to social scientists, journalists to weekend bloggers, everyone has an opinion about how to raise healthy, well-adjusted and polite children.
Hoefle says it’s time for parents to get off the perfection path and get back to the real job of parenting: to grow a grown-up. In her no-nonsense parenting guide, Hoefle draws on 25 years of experience helping parents see the big picture and sidestep what she calls the “detail drama” that too often trumps everyday life.
