Introduction
Parenting is a routine thing that has been happening for many generations. The approach towards the child has changed over the years based on exposure and knowledge through various resources. As we are in a fast-moving world, we can improve our parenting by acquiring great expertise through books, videos, parenting coaches, or other ways based on convenience.
As a parenting coach, I go through various parenting books and other resources to know the child in a better way. If you are interested in books, I have suggestions for you all below. Before we go to the list, I want to give you a few tips for reading parenting books. Please scroll down to know them. Please read this without fail and go to the list.
Steps to follow while reading parenting books
- Please never try to read a parenting book as a novel, storybook, or academic one. We need to consider it as a real-life experience. It is tough to read the whole book in one go and keep everything in mind. So, please read it phase by phase as we need to apply it and check whether it suits our parenting life.
- If you are planning to start a book, please understand the overview of the concept that the book is going to convey to us.
- Always have paper and pen while reading a book as we need to take notes very often.
- Please don't expect to apply all the methods mentioned in the book because it is hard to do, as every other child is unique. We need to understand and can apply only a few things that apply to our child.
- Reading parenting books is all about how much quality content you have gone through and earned the knowledge rather than the number of books we read.
- You don't have to complete one book before going to the other one. You can shuffle between the two and get the idea.
- Whenever you have read a topic, please take a moment to analyze and connect it with your personal life. This will be more helpful in keeping track of the concepts which you have gone through
- Never try to memorize the concepts. Because all you need to do is - understand, relate, and apply it in your parenting often.
- Take your time to complete a book, and please don't keep any time frame to finish it. Because it may cause unnecessary stress, and we may lose track of understanding the concept well.
- Parenting is a life journey, so keep the books on your bookshelf as long as you want
- Please don't be guilty, judge your parenting or be harsh on yourself while reading the book. Because it is super hard for anyone to follow the whole book and apply it in parenting, EOD, we are humans, and we can take the essence of how much we can do for ourselves and our kids.
