shinyhappypeople Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Anyone have any favorite books or other resources to share with me? 8 yo DD and I are struggling. Puberty is hitting early, and I feel totally unprepared to help her through this without one or both of us totally losing it. Thanks.

Negin Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I like the Love and Logic series. Guess I need to re-read those. :tongue_smilie: The older my dc get, the less I'm able to stomach parenting books. They make me feel so bad and so incompetent. :confused: These days, I just prefer to laugh a lot, hug them, love them, and use basic common-sense. If I were to pick just one easy parenting book to read, it would be this one. I love her style. I have her other book and seriously need to order this one. It's less than $5. :D The author is the one who wrote that lovely poem that so many of us are familiar with. Her books are based on this poem. This thread has inspired me to go ahead and order that book. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lily_Grace Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Kids are Worth It. It's my go-to book when the Kid and I are just butting heads left and right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
