"Officer, Please Fix My Child" is a direct, no-nonsense parenting book written from the frontline perspective of Brian Coash, a patrol sergeant who has spent more than thirty years in family emergencies, juvenile incidents, runaway calls, domestic disputes, and breakdowns inside America's homes. In those years, Coash continuously saw how parents felt lost, spent, and as if they were out of options as their discipline failed and emotional distance crept into their homes. Time and time again, he heard parents utter the same words: "Officer... please fix my child." This book was born out of those calls.
Instead of theories or models, "Officer, Please Fix My Child" is based on calls for service and personal family conversations. Using powerful storytelling and practical how-to's, Coach teaches parents why discipline breaks down, how our modern culture erodes authority, and what parents need to do to reclaim leadership and healthy connection in the home. Broken down by today's most challenging parenting issues, each chapter covers:
Entitlement and disrespect
Screen addiction and emotional detachment
Communication breakdowns between parents and kids
A lack of accountability and personal responsibility
Parenting burnout and decision fatigue
Coash provides specific and actionable advice on:
Re-establishing order and consistent discipline
Setting strong boundaries with empathy
Improving communication between the generations
Restoring trust and emotional health
Exercising confident leadership instead of reacting
Brian Coash's message is blameless and empowering, focused on helping parents take back their role with clarity, courage, and consistency while reinforcing that connection and disciple are both essential and meant to work together in the home. "Officer, Please Help My Child" is written for any parent who feels overwhelmed, lost, or just at the end of their rope. It's a wake-up call and a message of hope. Families at any stage can change when parents decide to leader again with a sense of purpose and resolve.
