Resumen del Editor

Parents everywhere, hear this: You can calm down, take a breath, stop worrying, and do more for your kids by doing less. They will survive, thrive, and later thank you for giving them freedom. And you’ll enjoy raising them in a happier, more peaceful home.

In Take Back the House, Dr. Karen Latimer, a family physician and mother of five, offers some down-home parenting advice for those ready to parent with more confidence and more joy. Speaking from the trenches of her own house, Dr. Latimer will help you take back yours by gently reclaiming power and perspective and practicing some simple, stress-free advice. She’ll help you focus on your own happiness to develop a thoughtful, balanced dynamic with your kids. Told with candor and humor, this Audible Original will leave you feeling recharged, renewed, and perfectly happy with imperfection. Warning: This piece involves a naked toddler in Target and other unforgettable scenes from real life.

Dear Listener,

Why did I decide to tell this story now?
"It is hard for me to accept I have been a mom for two decades, but the laugh lines and worry creases tell no lies. After all this time, colic to college, diapers to dorms, I have learned much, and there is one thing I know with absolute certainty. We deserve better. So do our kids. It saddens me to bear witness to a family culture with an abundance of stress and a paucity of enjoyment. For parents and children, the struggle is real, and recent events have served to further damage and confuse our roles, our goals, and our motivation. It is critical we change our culture and build happier homes and happier families by taking back the power of the parent. The time is now. The parenting journey is a long one, and the baggage we carry, we carry by choice. Let’s put down the guilt, the obsession, the fear, and the doubt. We’ve been burdened by them for too long. By letting them go, we make room for confidence, joy, respect, and laughter, all of which are light as a feather. It is my hope, through this Audible Original, that I can help you discover the beauty and ease in your own unique parenting journey." –Dr. Karen Latimer, creator of Take Back the House

Loved!!

This is an easy listen, she could have a career in narrating. I can only imagine how tough it must be when you are not an actress or performer but she is up there with the pros!!!
I loved that she mixed personal stories in with the advice. A lot of it things that seem so simple but I think could have a profound effect on the way I parent. So many things I had never thought of that could make motherhood so much more enjoyable. i would love to hear more from her in the future!!

Offers some great advise for parents.

I think these suggestions could help many adults take back their households. They are fairly intuitive and require the adults to be the adult in the parent/child relationship.

A must read for any parent!!!

Dr. Latimer gives lots of sound advice for all parents looking to raise independent, self sufficient children without losing their own identities (and minds). It’s about time we all feel a little less guilty and just enjoy the ride.

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.
