Those are good toddler books. For babies I liked Dr. Sears' stuff, although he is not helpful with toddlers and sometimes is a little over the top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-parenting-booksgo#post-2386835 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 09:41:20 +0000 jhd 2386835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bringing up Bebe was my favorite for the baby stage.</p> <p>Currently reading Parenting with Love and Logic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-parenting-booksgo#post-2386757 Sun, 13 Dec 2015 01:48:46 +0000 gracecat 2386757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>"Baby Whisperer Solves All your Problems" for the ins and outs of raising a newborn to toddler. </p> <p>"Brain Rules for Baby" - so insightful! </p> <p>"How to talk so kids will listen, and how to listen so kids will talk" - very practical for dealing with a young toddler and older child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-parenting-booksgo#post-2386750 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 23:45:42 +0000 youboots 2386750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bring up Bebe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-parenting-booksgo#post-2386733 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 22:17:39 +0000 MenagerieMama 2386733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There is one by the AAP written by pediatrician moms - I think it's something like "heading home: from birth to reality" (my copy is on loan!). It was really helpful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-parenting-booksgo#post-2386701 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 21:42:08 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2386701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: I've heard of her. I'll definitely download it to my kindle!<br /> @MamaCate: Thanks! Looking for kindle editions now. We are getting pretty excited too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-parenting-booksgo#post-2386628 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 19:23:39 +0000 MamaCate 2386628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Heading home with your newborn was really helpful the first few months--what is typical, when to be concerned, etc. Harvey Karp's happiest baby and happiest toddler on the block are good basic reference points. The first is more about soothing and the second is a quick intro to behavior management in a positive way. Becky Bailey is another good resource for positive and intentional parenting. So excited that you are getting so close to placement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-parenting-booksgo#post-2386619 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 18:59:35 +0000 littlejoy 2386619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved No Bad Kids by Janet Lansbury. I suggest that audio book. It's narrated by her, and I appreciate hearing her tone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-parenting-booksgo#post-2386616 Sat, 12 Dec 2015 18:57:56 +0000 Mrs. Turtle 2386616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are quickly moving towards becoming foster parents. We've completed our CPR class, are half way through our home study, and have turned in every last piece of paperwork. It's getting close now. I feel pretty confident about the basics of dealing with babies (we are hoping for an infant, ideally a newborn who might be likely to be adoptable) but I would really like to do some reading over the next few weeks/months to prepare and organize my thoughts. I've had enough experience that the basics come pretty naturally to me, but I enjoy researching and have spent so much time researching TTC and pregnancy, I haven't had a chance to start reading about parenting (plus it was too hard when I was TTC and not sure if/when it was ever going to work). </p> <p>So I'd love to hear what your favorite books are! Thanks. </p>
