Any recommendations on parenting books/child development books? Both fun and formal, or both.
The Happiest Baby/Toddler on the Block books are great for formal info! The dvd for Happiest Baby is great for learning how to soothe them!
Yes something like this looks good thank you
As for funny books, I’d recommend these:
The Sh!t No One Tells You by Dawn Dais
Toddlers are A**holes by Bunmi Laditan
The Honest Toddler by Bunmi Laditan
These look great, especially the middle one! ?
Bunmi Laditan is hilarious!
Nurture Shock was very informative with new research on development (without being dry). I also liked Simplicity Parenting. My TBR list includes Whole Brain Child.
Thank you!
Grit by Angela Duckworth
Thanks Bonnie!
No bad kids by Lansbury
Thank you!
Back To Basics Parenting Manual
Essential 55
Positive Discipline
Thanks for the recommendation ?
Thanks everyone! I’ll be sure to check out each suggestion ?
The Caveman’s Guide to pregnancy, to parenting, to cooking
My favorite parenting book thus far is It’s OK Not to Share by Heather Shumaker. I’m really looking forward to reading Simplicity Parenting next.
This looks good!
The Unmumsy Mum is fab! Not just for mums!
And Hurrah for Gin. They are both so funny
So you’re going to be a dad… was a funny one. Dealt a lot with pregnancy and the beginning part of a new life.
I’ve read the boys one (I have 2 boys), and found him to be spot on about ‘raising boys’. A friend has read the girls version and says it’s really good too. He lectures a lot in this country (UK) and Australia (where I think he comes from). I don’t know whether he’s well known in the US?
I’ll definitely be getting this, I’m in the UK too so I must check him out, many thanks for this ?
Thanks again ?
@Matt, I read the original, and I’ve bought this one as well. I just need to read it now…..?
Mine arrived this morning! Cannot wait until I get finished work and sit with my feet up all weekend reading this!
I think Queen Bees & Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman is a great book.
I’ve really enjoyed Kevin Leman’s. Especially “Making Children Mind Without Losing Yours” and “The Birth Order Book.”
Thank you ?
