The books

For parents who would rather read it than watch it. Each one is written for mothers and fathers of grown children.

Welcome Home

The P.A.R.E.N.T. Method in writing.

Estrangement isn't a communication problem. It's a safety problem. This book rebuilds that safety step by step, starting with you, not them, which means you can begin today, even in total silence.

  • The real reason your adult child went silent
  • The six estrangement patterns, and how to tell which one you're in
  • What your child must feel before contact can resume
  • The gatekeeper chapter: when a son- or daughter-in-law stands in the doorway
  • Staying present in your grandchildren's lives
  • For couples: ending the "two parents, two strategies" mistake

One honest thing: this book will not bring your child back by Friday. Reconciliation is slow work.
