8 Great Parenting Books

8 Great Parenting Books

Are you looking for some great parenting books?  Books that will help with discipline.  Books with parenting/mom tips and hacks.  Books full of parenting advice for both working and stay at home parents.  Books about positive parenting that also share great family activities.  I put together a great list for you. 

I want you to ask yourself these questions:
                1.  Are your kids in a new stage that you don't know how to navigate?  
                2.  Are you looking for small ways to connect with your child?  
                3.  Do you have a child that struggles with anger or maybe anxiety? 
               4.  Are you wondering how in the world you are going to get your kids to get along?  
                5.  Are screens slowly taking over your household?  
                6.  Do you just want your kids to listen, really listen?  
                7.  Do you want to make sure your kids love reading?  

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions then look below at my list of fantastic parenting books.  Some of them might not be for you so read the description and you can pick up which ones speak to you.  I also almost NEVER say to buy a book without reading it first, but these books are different.  These books are books you will turn to all the time.  They are books that you will want to mark up and write down notes.  Like I said before you might not need each of them for you or your family, but if it will help you then make sure to use them.  That is what they are for!

This book might be my new favorite.  It is the most recent parenting books I read.  I absolutely love the way Mary Ann Johnson gives attainable realistic ways to connect with your child.  I don't really like the work "hack" because it seems like a short cut and I don't like thinking about taking parenting short cuts, but in a way this book is FULL of  parenting or mom "hacks".  They are quick ways to connect with your child.  I absolutely love this book and can't recommend it enough.

If you have a child that is easily overwhelmed, stressed a lot, or typically anxious then this is a book you NEED in your home.  We strive to do one or two of the activities in this book a day.  It helps ground my children, especially Hannelore (my oldest) who deals with some intense anxiety.

I LOVE to read.  Part of being a mom for me is teaching my girls how to love reading as well.  This book has fantastic reading lists to make your way through.  There are so many reading lists depending on age and topic.  Then there is great advice on how to help children love reading for different stages of life.

I have wrote a whole blog post on this book alone.  It is a must have for everyone's library.  Honestly, I have used some of the techniques found in this book on my husband.  "Communication is key", right?  So why not get some great basics down.

You guys!  I cannot recommend this book enough.  I can promise you.  Promise with every fiber of my being that if you try to do the things found in this book that you will see an INCREDIBLE change in your kids.  If you have a child that is melting down more than normal, an anxious child, a child with any "issues" psychologically then this book is a must.  Honestly, I think everyone should try it.  At least once.  Is it easy?  NO, but I can't tell you how worth it it will be.  SO WORTH IT!  There are so many studies in this book done on all types of families.  Families with ADHD children.  Families with mood disorders.  Families with autistic children.  Families that just want to reset and stop being so consumed with the world and technology.  I promise this is such a great book.

The title of this book tells it all.  My oldest daughter struggles with some pretty severe anxiety.  This causes her to be explosive at times.  Thankfully it is getting better as she gets older, but it is also getting better because of some amazing conversation techniques found in this book.  It is a different approach to parenting.  It is more cooperative and I love it.  I have friends that have autistic children who have used this book and seen amazing results.

I turn to this book ALL. OF. THE. TIME!  I absolutely LOVE this book.  This one might be my favorite.  Honestly, it is one of the top 3 parenting books in my opinion.  At least of all the books I have read.

If you follow me on Instagram then the parenting topics that I am currently talking about all stem from this book.  There are so many fantastic resources in this book.  I really do hope to raise friends for life.  My girls will need each other in this crazy world and I am so grateful for this book to help guide me.  Sometimes siblings get along great, but mine are polar opposites and with my oldest having anxiety sometimes that is hard, but things are looking up and I thank this book in part for that.

2020 Reading Challenge List for Adults

2020 Reading Challenge List for Adults
Do you love to read, but feel like you don't have enough time?  Do you only read books that fit under a certain genre, but wish you would branch out more?  Do you need book inspiration? 

If you answered yes to any of those questions then this 2020 Reading Challenge for Adults is a great option for you!  This reading challenge is designed to be versatile to YOUR needs.  It is to get you hitting your reading goals.  It will help you read different books than you normally read and/or read more books than you normally do. 

Do it with a friend.  The download that I have provided has 2 copies of the list.  So that is perfect for you to share with a friend.  Make it a fun gift idea and give your friend a copy of the list with a book or even a gift card to the nearest bookstore.  

Make reading a priority this year.  Reading has so many benefits.  Here are just a few I want to share with you so you can also make a reading a priority this year:
  • Reading helps increase concentration. 
  • Reading can make you more empathetic. 
  • Reading helps increase your sleep quality. 
  • Reading slows the progress of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. 
  • Reading helps lessen negative thoughts.
  • Reading helps your general knowledge. 
  • Reading helps you to relax. 
  • Reading helps expand your vocabulary. 
  • Reading helps improve your memory. 
  • Reading is FREE entertainment! 
So how should you use this challenge to help you reach your reading goals?  Like I said make it work for YOU.  If you feel like you need to read more then set a goal for how many books you want to read this year and use the list I provided to help you think of different books to read.  If you want to branch out and read different types of books then use the download to help you achieve that.  If you want to try and read all the categories on the list then great, but if that is too much for you to handle then set a goal that is reasonable to you.  

My goal this year is to read 36 books.  I plan on reading a self help, spiritual, or parenting book once a month.  Then I also plan to read both a nonfiction and fiction book each month.  I am so excited to read more.  In 2018 I read 46 books then in 2019 I read about 12.  I noticed a HUGE difference in my attitude.  So I decided to make it a goal again.  I hope you will join me.
