Repetitive, but that's helpful

She really drills in on her points, but it helps to change your thinking when it comes to self compassion and how to make changes. i loved it and I think it's going to help.

anxious parent must!

Easy to follow, enjoyable to listen to, and INCREDIBLY insightful and validating! Recommending to all my parent friends and will listen to it again!

It’s always good to know all parents lose shit sometimes

Parenting is hard. I’ve been losing my shit to my kids quite a lot recently. But comparing to the author. I feel like I am not that bad. I can literally feel her anger just from listening to her. She’s definitely been there. And now just sharing her techniques with all other parents. Which are really helpful.

slow start great finish

this book helped not only with becoming a better father but helped me be a better person. this tips and advice work for stress in general

tbis is just what i needed

I am so glad that I am not alone with loosing my sh** with my 2 kids. this has helped me stop and think of what is going on and how to calm down. i have noticed some triggers, trying new things and talking tonmy husband about what he can help with before he goes to work in the evenings. we will see where this leads.

A MUST for parents with young children!

This brought me ideas I didn’t know were possible and I’m already applying things to help us all! Our house is getting quieter I can feel it!

Fuuny, realistic, and doesn't shame you

This book makes you laugh with real life examples, and while the author is telling you the stories and the tools you need, she does it in a way you don't feel shamed. It actually provides you with tools to focus on yourself so you can focus on your kids. I have already recommended to friends, because let's face it, every parent looses it at some point...

How to identity my triggers

This is the type of book I would listen to every time I hit my boiling point with my kid. It’s great and the narrator is awesome

Dude. this book was all around great.

yes, you are going to hear the word s*** a lot. do I do my best to not use all the squares? yes, but do I still use all the swears? yes. all swears aside... this book is chock full of advice, scientific evidence, encouragement, and excellent tips on how to keep a level head with your kids... all blended with the just the right amount of humor. honestly, this will benefit all your relationships in general, not just your kids. I enjoyed it so much I asked my 14-year-old son to listen to it so that he might have an understanding of all the things we parents are juggling and that we don't want to lose it with our then and some of the reasons that we do. I highly recommend listening to/reading this one.

So relatable. A great read!

The narrator of this book was great. So many relatable circumstances and examples. The most real book on this topic I have read thus far.
