Series ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Positive Parenting Is Easier Than You Think
Jennifer N. Smith · 2019
🎙 Narrated by Meg Price (Audible/Amazon edition); a differently-credited narrator preview was also found on YouTube, so a second edition may exist — reported with medium confidence
52/100
👎 Skip It
Covers similar ground to other gentle-parenting titles — retrain your reactions, heal yourself first — but it's a self-published entry with no independent reviews backing up its claims, and even the narrator credit isn't fully consistent across listings. Decent premise, thin verification.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.

🎙 Narration: unknown Retailer listings credit Meg Price, but a discrepancy with a differently-named narrator on a separate preview couldn't be resolved.
