7 Best Toddler Parenting Books Every Parent Should Read:
How To Talk So Little Kids Will Listen
This is one of my favorite toddler parenting books because it is full of great relatable stories and helpful parenting tools. My daughter is very strong willed and defiant. This book helped me realize that if I let her solve problems on her own rather then solve them myself it made her feel more independent and more willing to cooperate with me.
If you feel like your toddler doesn’t want to do anything you ask or if they throw many tantrums this book is for you! If you have older children read her other book How To Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk.
The Whole Brain Child
Every parent should read The Whole Brain Child. This book will help you learn how your childs brain works. Once you understand your child’s limits as far as development their behavior will make more sense. When I read this book I felt less guilty and stressed out when my daughter wasn’t listening to me.
No Drama Discipline
No Drama Discipline will help you learn how to discipline your child appropriately based on their age and stage of development.
The Montessori Toddler
Before reading The Montessori Toddler Book I had no idea how much toddlers are capable of doing on their own. I wish I had read this book before my daughters first birthday. This book helps you raise independent and responsible children.
The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read
The Book You Wish Your Parent Had Read is exactly what the title describes. This book will help you understand how your upbringing may be effecting your parenting and your relationship with your child and your spouse.
Raising Good Humans
What I love about Raising Good Humans is that it helps you learn about yourself and why you react the way you do. This book gives you tools you can use to control your own emotions so that you can set an example for your own children.
Oh Crap Potty Training
After months of struggling to potty train my daughter I asked a local moms group what their favorite potty training book was. Most of the moms recommended Oh Crap Potty Training. This book was a game changer. As soon as I started using the methods in the book my daughter was potty trained within a week.
