By going through the hard work now, you can feel confident and secure that you are doing the best you can for your child when it comes to their care. -
Not parenting specific, but a great read as to why we all have evolved to live together and the traumatic effects when that is taken away. -
From Tracy: I’m biased because I am that kind of late bloomer that Range references, but I also found the content fascinating from a parenting perspective. You can read my interview with David HERE. -
From Tracy: I love this one for a clearer understanding of our stress response system and how we can apply this knowledge to our parenting to help avoid the modern-day stress problems that plague us. -
From Tracy: One of my absolute favourites as it really helps families understand the distinction between culture and biology in our parenting practices. -
From Tracy The follow-up to Our Babies, Ourselves, Dr. Small takes on how culture and biology interact in our parenting of children. Again, so much of what we take for granted as “normal” in raising kids is really anything but. -
From Tracy: One of the most beautiful and widely memed authors around (for good reason), LR Knost brings us simple ways to connect with our children no matter their age. -
From Tracy: A guide to parenting a toddler that is hands-down one of the best on the market. There’s a reason this book has spawned ToddlerCalm classes! -
From Tracy: Similar to ToddlerCalm, this is a really good guide for the first year. -
From Tracy: Pinky is one of my favourites and her gentle and understanding approach for families is much-needed in our sleep training culture. This one will have you feeling confident and content in your parenting. -
From Tracy: A must-read to truly understand the evolution of motherhood and shared care through the lens of our unique childhood. Of course the book goes beyond to argue that this unique need of humans to rely on others has also led to our unique capacity to understand others. Truly eye-opening. -
From Tracy: There is reason for controversy over some of the ideas here, but like all things academic, that is the sign of a good book. Written years ago, but a great look at the debate over nature versus nurture.
