Ingrid's Reading Recommendation
Becoming
the Parent You Want To Be: A Sourcebook of Strategies for the First Five
Years
by Laura Davis with contributions by Janis Keyser.
Amazon.com's review: This may be the best parenting book to come around in years. Laura Davis and Janis Keyser take a straightforward, real, and respectful approach to parenting and children. The book gives solid information on sound child development as well as specific tips that run the gamut from getting your child to sleep to dealing with fear of Halloween to toileting (toilet training) as a metaphor for learning to disciplinary issues. Based on nine principals that deal with issues of time, optimism, struggle, anger, balancing needs, and learning as you go, this book will help you discover and work with your own parenting philosophy.
First 5 Santa Cruz County ensures that family-friendly services and education are available so that each child reaches the fifth year of life healthy, ready and able to learn, and emotionally well developed. Anyone in the community can come and pick up a free copy of First 5's Kit for new parents from Glen Arbor School. The Kit for New Parents is now available in Spanish.
