A quick read that I finished in an afternoon. Overall, the book is well researched and well-written. While I don't think I'll implement the kind of parenting techniques the author uses, I appreciate her sharing them. I took off a star because this book places a heavy emphasis on how to parent when both parent and child are neurodivergent - an excellent resource for those who fall into that category, but I wish the title communicated that information more effectively.

Such a great resource for those of us who are parenting differently wired kids, and are looking for some kind of trail to follow. Amanda’s experiences are so relatable and she writes about low-demand solutions in clear, easy to understand chapters. I’m so excited for more parents to discover this book!

I have followed Amanda’s Instagram account and have been impatiently awaiting this book for over a year now and it did not disappoint! It’s very to the point without skipping over anything important. There are a few great books on PDA right now (not that more aren’t needed!) but this is the first one I’ve read specifically about how to actually implement a low-demand lifestyle instead of just suggesting one. The chapter on screen time really gave me permission to take off a lot of the pressure I was putting on myself. I also appreciate how the book didn’t end with “happily ever after” and instead showed a realistic and attainable family life. I’m really glad this book is getting an audiobook format so I can share it with my kiddo’s grandparents!
