I like to read. Some of this comes from a (probably somewhat misguided) belief that I’ll be able to find answers in books. So I’ve read more parenting books than I can remember (let along remember all the advice from!).
While that’s not always true, I have learned a lot from some parenting books. Here are a few that have influenced the way I raise my children:
Not all the answers are found in a book, but they’re always good for finding new solutions (even if they don’t work out for you).
What are your favorite parenting books?

I learned a lot about helping your kids understand their agency and take responsibility for their behavior from the Love and Logic series.
My personal favorite remains the “Love Languages” books. I first read the one targeted at couples and relationships but the one for kids (there’s one for teens too) was great well!
@SingleDad—Okay, I have to share this story. Two of my sisters were visiting me earlier this month and I asked them, “What’s your love language?”
Without missing a beat, my youngest sister said, “Parseltongue.”
(It was funny, though, as we took a short quiz to find our love languages, what was similar and what was different.)
