The Parenting Booklist

Written By Chloe Deane

I have always had an interest in child development and parenting and one way I have fed that interest is through reading books, a lot of books! For various reasons (lack of time, focus, reading ability), reading is not for everyone, but if you are someone who feeds your hunger for information by reading, this list is for you!

All of these books have value at any point in your child’s development, and your parenting journey, but for the sake of organization, I have listed these books, in order, from preschool to the teen years.

  • Rest, Play, Grow - Deborah MacNamara PHD

  • The Power of Showing Up - Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson

  • The Whole Brain Child - Daniel J. Siegel and Tina Payne Bryson

  • Siblings Without Rivalry - Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish

  • How to Talk so Kids will Listen and Listen so Kids will Talk - Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish

  • Ten-Ager - Madonna King

  • Hold on to Your Kids - Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Mate

  • Brainstorm - Daniel J. Siegel

  • Untangled - Lisa Damour
