There’s really isn’t a “complete book of parenting” or “everything you need to know website” out there. Instead
parents must chart a course of learning and practice as they encounter individual questions and challenges.
Parenting Courses
These classes typically draw from a parenting text as a foundation for weekly reading, discussion and home practice.
Some recent texts are: Whole Brain Child (Siegel/Bryson), Easy To Love / Difficult To Discipline (Bailey), The Mindful
Child (Kaiser Greenland), Parenting From the Inside Out (Siegel/Hartzell), How To Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So
Kids Will Talk (Faber/Mazlish), Siblings Without Rivalry (Faber/Mazlish).
