Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Parenting
Andy Stanley & Sandra Stanley · 2023
🎙 Narrated by Andy Stanley and Sandra Stanley (read by the authors)
80/100
👍 Worth It
This one feels like sitting down with two parents who've genuinely been there — practical, warm, and refreshingly focused on adapting to each kid's personality rather than handing out rigid rules. The Stanleys narrate it themselves, so it plays more like a cozy conversation than a lecture, which I really liked. Just know it's lighter on concrete tactics for the very youngest kids, ages zero to five.
