About this listen
We've all heard the complaint from parents: They're more overwhelmed than ever before - juggling demands on their time as well as conflicting advice from family, friends, frenemies, and "experts" on how to achieve parental perfection, or risk jeopardizing their little one's future happiness. Pediatrician Jane Scott has seen this parental anxiety up close, and in The Confident Parent she shares advice on how to cut through the confusion, dial down the insecurities and unhelpful advice, and simply do what countless parents around the world have done throughout history: tune in to their own instincts and respond to their little one's needs without overthinking, overstimulating, and overparenting.

Helped me overcome postpartum anxiety
As a first time mom, postpartum anxiety hit hard. I found myself questioning every decision and obsessing over the most minute details related to anything that had to do with my baby. I started listening to this book and right away it helped me overcome my anxiety and fears. It had practical advice for every stage of motherhood. It’s easy to follow and straight to the point. It offers so much valuable information and helpful insights. I feel like this book has made me a better parent and I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with postpartum anxiety!

Read by a computer
This book is fantastic. My husband and I both read it in paperback. I likes it so much that I wanted to listen to it before our baby was born. I was terribly disappointed and couldn’t even listen to it because the reading was so painful to listen to. Read the book but do not listen to this!
