About this listen

Stop the yelling, lose the guilt, and become a calmer, happier parent.

Drawing on evidence-based practices, here is an insight-packed and tip-filled plan for how to stop the parental meltdowns. Its compassionate, pragmatic approach will help listeners feel less ashamed and more empowered to get their, ahem, act together instead of losing it.

“Using a powerful combination of humor and reality checks, Naumburg helps parents unpack their unique stressors (we all have them) and find ways to stay calm even the most frustrating of family moments.” (Katie Hurley, LCSW, author of No More Mean Girls and The Happy Kid Handbook)

“By the end not only are you laughing out loud, but you’ve gained a sense of self-compassion and a concrete action plan.” (Rebecca Schrag Hershberg, PhD, author of The Tantrum Survival Guide)

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.

This book was helpful

Don’t listen to the negative reviews. Seems like they didn’t make it through the book. This book is so helpful for not only improving your relationship with your children. But also can be applied to other relationships in your life.
The added humor to this book makes it easier to listen to and to admit to not pleasant truths about yourself.

Perfect!

A really great reminder. I know I need to take care of myself in order to keep my cool with my kids. Dr. Naumburg gives examples of what to do to take care of myself and examples of how to *not* yell at my kids by doit literally anything else. Loved it! Will likely revisit it or the bonus recap chapter at the end.

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.

Good practical tips.

I really needed the self compassion piece that was reaffirmed in a compassion fatigue training I did.

Makes you feel you are not alone

This book was very helpful, showing how you are nit aline as you feel overwhelmed frequently when parenting. How to be compassionate with yourself and how to start all over the next day when things don't go as you planned.

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.
