Can the voice of the readers be switch to a different one?

The situations are so real.👍🏼. Advice Good👍🏼
Kirk's tones while he is reading / acting are so exaggerated that my attention gets interrupted with such vivid enactment of the
situations w my kid at home. Not pleasant.
I wish it were possible to switch the voice as it is possible in the navigation systems. I will look for the kindle or paper book version.

Some stuff I absolutely do not agree with

The beginning is better than the end. Some suggestions I believe are ridiculous but I gave 4 stars because I did get some good points.

Friendly constructive criticism:0)

I’m sorry I bet it’s a very good book but where I have gotten it off auto book my kids hear it and I really wanted them to understand lots in life but let me tell u “ you don’t know me “ lol I’m sorry but that’s the shortest way to explain one of the major concerns with ur book because I can’t even finish listening to it u til after the holiday break because I understand u don’t mean “you know “ like u r a magic mystical creature who just has a way of knowing everyone’s thoughts but you see my children wouldn’t and they might start assuming things and using the wrong words and we’ll I’m 35 years old and I’m still trying to get the exact words right because sometimes we take everything say and done in this world too literal….. just something to consider in the next book you’re right thank you for reading and I will finish once I get a some ear things to listen without my children eases dropping because u have lots of very good points only thing is my kids have a real problem right now with my divorce 6 years ago and I can’t have them hearing everything that should have been different all at once I’m scared they might trigger bad memories of some of the tragedies we have experienced but I only wrote up this so that you can understand that the world is in a crisis right now and sometimes we just don’t get the books at the right time I’m sorry if this hurt your feelings I was just expressing my concern thank you good luck and I look forward to reading your future books and not on audible I prefer my own tone when reading any good book or story

Yours truly
Jennifer DaEira-Jones

Excellent content

This audiobook has excellent content, and started out with fabulous father and son narrators, unfortunately several of the later narrator women were not quite as good, one was even hard to listen to but it was worth hearing and I will listen again to try to digest the parts that my brain tuned out.

Honestly changed our lives

I have read a LOT of books on parenting and this was, by far, the most effective, most direct, most thorough, and most interesting one I have ever read. Ever! This was truly life-changing. I am so grateful

which flight are they catching?

Too fast. Understand u need to put your onion on voice. Not sure what is the hurry. Allow listeners to hear your words. it's as worst as having the emotional run teenager. Almost like puking.

content is OK

for a parent and a child

Parenting the Confident Teen: Stop Disrespect and Raise a Confident Teenager by Kirk Martin, Casey Martin, Larry Iverson etc. It is a unique book of selected themes on how to behave with a teen, so they behave. Listening to this Audible Original made me remember myself as a teen. It is OK to listen to this edition with your teen as there are conversations and some role-play and children's behavioural therapists and entrepreneurs.

This changed my life!

After several months of changes and moods with my teenager, this book is just what I needed! It provides so many helpful tips to the parent and therefore assisting the child(ren) through the awkward and ever-changing teen age years. I will carry the tools and lessons found here with me forever! Thank you all tremendously for blessing us with this awesome literature!
