Positive Parenting Book List

Here is a list of my favourite POSITIVE PARENTING books. I’ve read them all and found each one to be really valuable in helping me develop skills and knowledge to parent confidently and with less stress.

As I read more books, I will add them to the list! If you have a favourite one that you think I’ve missed, add a comment to the bottom of the page. I’m always looking for more great resources.

    Hi Sue, congrats on your journey and thank you for sharing it! It’s awesome to see another mom diving into positive parenting w/such passion and vulnerability. I look forward to reading some of the great-looking books you’ve recommended and wonder if you have read anything by Rebecca Eanes? And if so, what you think of her approach?

      Hi Yebuny – thanks for taking the time to comment and I’m glad you found my corner of the blogosphere. I am familiar with Rebecca Eanes and her blog, however I have not read any of her books. She’s definitely one of the many positive parenting resources I would recommend. Have you read any of her books? Would you recommend one in particular?
