informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

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!
