The Perfect Book, at the Perfect Time!

Revisado: 03-03-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I can't say enough how pleased I am with this excellent book. My son is 12 and about to enter those complicated and confusing teen years. Full of practical exercises, engaging example stories, and loads of resources, it will help teens cope with the pressure they face - and thrive and evolve through it. Through the book, teens are encouraged to build a healthy foundation of self-awareness, a skill they will turn to throughout life. I found the narration to be perfect, easy to listen to, well-paced, and have an engaging expression of voice. I look forward to listening to the book with my almost teenager, and I know that it will provide him with fundamental skills, knowledge, and will for entering the next phase of his life. This book is like a parenting partner :)

Delightful Narration, Such a Wonderful book!

Revisado: 02-17-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The minute I pressed play on this book, I fell in love with the narration. It was like a cheerful professor guiding me through the world of foraging with all his passion and wisdom. I loved this book, it had everything that I have been interested in and curious about foraging. Identification, recipes, safety, preparation steps, and detatiled nutrition information. I can't wait to try everything. Thank you for this excellent book!

Supportive, loving, and practical!

Revisado: 01-17-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

As a parent to a pre-teen, I listened to this book to help me prepare for the years ahead. This strategy worked marvelously in the past; I read books about parenting toddlers when I was only newly pregnant with my son. When he entered the toddler stage, I was ready! I am trying this strategy again by reading (listening to) this book, and I loved the book. It was written with a loving, supportive tone and is full of practical, easy-to-follow advice on how to support your teenagers and navigate those difficult years during which communication can be quite challenging and the emotions are running high. The author explains what is occurring for both the adult and the teen perspective and how to parent your child as they change and grow through this stage. I appreciated the direct, kind message - the author knows how to navigate this stage. This book is a valuable go-to resource for parents who have a teen suffering from anxiety.

Valuable Resource for Parents

Revisado: 01-14-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This book is a valuable resource for parents, caregivers, and educators raising or working with children with anxiety. The authors explain the different types of anxiety, the symptoms and behaviors associated with anxiety disorder, and the root causes of the disorder. It was very interesting to read about different stressors in children's lives and the signs of unresolved stress, some of which may go unnoticed without the knowledge of the related anxiety causing the symptom. The narration was great.

I wish I had read this book as a teen!!

Revisado: 01-12-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I listened to this book as a preview to share with my son, who is fast entering teenager-hood. It was absolutely mind-opening the perspectives and information shared in the book that are not a part of general financial literacy. I genuinely wish that personal finance in this amount of depth were taught in middle and high school. I learned so much that I didn't know, misconceptions about money management, helpful and practical tips for how much to save and spend. Highly recommend as it was easy to understand for a beginner like me. I plan to share this with my son and both of us learn from the Julian Paul's wisdom!

Valuable and Creative Guide and Resource!

Revisado: 01-12-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

As an educator, I was delighted to find this book and found it to be a valuable, relatable guide. I know from experience with parents and caregivers that navigating the care of a special needs child can be a scary and overwhelming journey. This book provides abundant practical suggestions and guidance. It is written with deep love and care for the diverse experiences of all humans. Each section has an acronym to guide the main actions and considerations making them easy to remember. For example, Chapter 6 is called Potential: The PEACE promotion formula - each letter in PEACE stands for a part of the toolkit. I plan to recommend this book to parents and caregivers. I especially enjoyed the chapter highlighting famous people who have disabilities; children with special needs can be inspired by these stories and enjoy them together with their families and caregivers. The narration is excellent.

Extremely thorough and an excellent resource for couples!

Revisado: 01-10-23

This book looked at communication in relationships from several different angles, describing in depth what communication is, why it is important, and the specific skills necessary to have effective loving communication in a relationship. This is an excellent resource for partners just starting out, or couples who are looking to deepen or improve their skills. There are so many practical suggestions that will lead to success. Great book!

Fantastic, a must read!

Revisado: 01-09-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I listened to Sean’s book to help me understand the dynamics of alcohol abuse and to be better able to support loved ones navigating the difficulties of staying sober. I understand so many things that I wasn’t aware of before after listening. It was so interesting, full of care and compassion for the journey. I highly recommend this book to folks who are looking for new perspectives and excellent guidance as they experience becoming sober or supporting friends and family members.
