Books for Parents

Reading is something I enjoy.  Admittedly since becoming a mom finding time to read is nearly impossible.  

Before becoming a mom I routinely read all sorts of books and there are a few I would recommend any parent or caregiver of children read...

1.      The Gift of Fear and Other Survival Signals that Protect Us From Violence by Gavin de Becker

2.      Protecting the Gift:  Keeping Children and Teenagers Safe (and Parents Sane) by Gavin de Becker

3.      Reviving Ophelia:  Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls by Mary Pipher

4.      Raising Cain:  Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys by Dan Kindlon and Michael Thompson

5.   On Becoming Baby Wise: Giving Your Infant the Gift of Nighttime Sleep by Gary Ezzo and Robert Bucknam
