Over 2 1/2 years ago (aka before Ian was born) a lovely person I was doing some work for gave me a list of books that she thought would be helpful as he gets older. I've been shuffling that list around my desk for those 2 1/2 years (including moving it from apartment to house at one point). I'm throwing it away today...but thought I'd leave the great contents of it, along with her comments,here for posterity :) (and eventual links to amazon)
Parents:
- A Good Enough Parent, Bruno Bettleheim
- Practical Tricks on How to Put Baby's Clothes on, Nutrition, etc, Pamela Leah books
- How to Talk to Your Kid so Your Kid Will Listen, and Listen so Your Kid Will Talk
- At The Threshold, academic tome but excellent reading about adolescence
- Series -- Your One Year Old, Two, Three, etc
- The Courage to Raise Good Men
To Read to Your Kids:
- Goodnight Moon
- The Runaway Bunny
- Charlotte's Web
Videos:
- The Secret of NIMH
- Grandfather's Magical Toys
- Winnie The Pooh
Now my desk is cleaner and I'm closer to Amazon's "1-click"
