About this listen

As a parent, you want the best for your child—to be happy, healthy, and thriving. But parenting can be challenging, especially when you're trying to avoid repeating the same mistakes your own parents made. In the book Parenthood, dedicated dads Jermaine Donaldson and Frank Jennings offer a refreshing and judgement-free approach to parenting that emphasizes understanding your own experiences and history, and how it influences your parenting.

Rather than offering a "perfect" plan, Donaldson and Jennings provide anecdotal stories about what really matters when it comes to raising children. Drawing on years of experience, these guys shares the dos and don'ts of parenting and offers sage advice for:

  • Dealing with unfulfilled expectations placed on family members
  • Having the discipline and grit to excel at handwriting (and life)
  • Being grateful (instead of resentful) for the people who hold you accountable
  • Examining the behaviors and habits displayed before children

In this absorbing, clever, and funny book, Donaldson and Jennings show us that being a good parent is not about being perfect, but about cultivating a strong and loving relationship with your child. Parenthood is a must-listen for every parent who needs a laugh with a lesson.

Wow! Blown away by the real life examples, the easy prose and the advice given. The title truly reflects the lessons in the book. I want to implement the 5 minute rule with my grand kids when they visit me this summer. Well done, Jermaine and Frank. Looking forward to many more books from you guys.
