Great listen

I listened this with my wife and a glass/bottle/bottles of wine. It was great to hear perspective of an expert that relates to everyone’s real life experiences. Would highly recommend.

Enjoyed Take back the House

This was great and all my children are grown but I have grandchildren I can apply theses suggestions.
Thank you

Helpful and Humorous; just what parents need!

Thank you for writing this! My husband found it first and then had me listen to it and I am so grateful I did. It both reinforces the parenting style we are already aspiring to, while also giving so many helpful reminders and tips. Thank you, Dr. Latimer, for supporting parents and helping us navigate this stress-inducing parenting culture.

Great book!

Simple but effective strategies. Great reminder to focus on the little but most important parts of parenting.

Fun journey

I’ve read a few self-help parenting books, but this one felt different; it is more causal and flows well. The narrator (author) is charismatic and down to earth.

I enjoyed it and plan to incorporate a lot of in to my daily life.

easy to follow, sound advice

Listening to this while pregnant and feel it is slightly more geared to those who are already in the midst of parenting. I still took a lot away from it and really enjoyed the author/readers tone and inflection - nice and easy to follow.

Loved it!

I've listened to the entire thing twice in 48 hours. I will listen to it again. I wish I would have had this information when my kids were small!

Exactly what I needed.

I loved the Narrators voice, very calm and like listening to a wise friend. This book is exactly what I needed at this point in my parenthood journey. I loved the examples she used from her own life and she admits the struggles. I will definitely listen again when I feel like I need a pep talk from a good friend

Great Advice!

I wish I had this book when my children were young. I will recommend it to my friends who have children, it's a great book.

Take away The guilt

I really enjoyed The atmosphere and easygoing into The housholds universal struggles of today’s parenting. I aim to have this calm and relaxed attitude to my own houshold.

It is a great reminder to enjoy The life we build as we go, and not stress to where we think others expect us to be. I will try to implement a lot of The advice because I think it is That Good! And it suits for any lifestyle you have.

Absolutly recommend.
