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.

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.

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!!

Funny & Wise

This is great! So much amazing information from someone who has been there done that! Parenting is the hardest thing in the world. Karen Latimer gives great guideposts for raising your kids and more importantly raising yourself. Trust yourself and trust Karen. Love this.

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.

excellent well thought parenting book

I've read a lot of parenting books, this one just reinforces to trust your instincts with very very helpful suggestions.
Very down to earth, smart and funny.

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.

Just what I needed!

As a new mother of three, ages 3, 2 and 1 month old. this is exactly what I needed to hear. thank you.

I agree

my experience as a mother of five testifies of the truthfulness of this book. my children are adults now

I am not alone!

I loved it, very simple explanation of life and how to let go. highly recommend if you feel like you think you are a bad mom or just can't let go

life changer

I was right in the middle of setting up another routine when I pressed play on the book. I'm so grateful for this short "read" sweet simple to the point honest and said what I needed to hear. thank you

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.
