I will admit that I have a habit, (compulsion?) of buying books I love. This means that although I have read and forgotten the titles of many, many parenting books, I have also read and reread many other books that eventually made their ways to my shelves. Some of those are below. I can’t wait to hear your answers - (all types of resources count here, not just books!) 1. “I Didn’t Plan to Be a Witch” by Linda Eyre - this book makes me smile after a long day. (Linda and Richard Eyre wrote several other books including the fantastic Three Steps to a Strong Family.) 2. “Understanding Your Child’s Temperament” by William Carey- this was extremely helpful when I had a baby I couldn’t “understand” intuitively. 3. “Hold On to Your Kids” by Gordon Neufeld and many of his online lectures and courses (https://neufeldinstitute.org). Learning Gordon Neufeld’s material was a complete game changer for me as a mother. This is what I refer back to again and again and again. 4. “Children: The Challenge” by Rudolf Dreikurs 5. “The Seven Habits of Highly Successful Families” by Stephen Covey 6. “Transforming the Difficult Child” by Howard Glasser. This is the basis of the Nurtured Heart approach - I got a lot out of this.
