Family First by Dr. Phil ! Excellent parenting advice and do-able. It was not a boring read either :)


Are you a M.O.M-Mom of Many? Find other M.O.M's

Hi Grace,
There are a few I like. First one is called "Trees Make the Best Mobiles" by Jessica Teich and Brandel France deBravo. It's got short, cute little chapters on many subjects and it's just a cute little book. The other is "Happiest baby on the Block" by Karp. He's also got "Happiest Toddler on the Block" which I haven't read yet, but "Baby" is good. It helped me greatly in understanding a lot about my newborn and different comforting techniques, etc. I also have the "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and "What to Expect the First Year" books. I don't always agree with them but they present different views and ideas on parenting subjects going by monthly growth and development. If you find a book you like pass it on. Happy reading!
