Three Essential Parenting Books All Parents Should Read

Parenting From The Inside Out by Dan Siegel
​My absolute favorite all-time read and definitely the most influential book for me as a mother. I interviewed Dan Siegel last year  (see "Videos with Psychology Rock Stars" under Categories on this page). He is a hero of mine and I was gushing a bit. He is brilliant and has helped marry the fields of psychology and neurology to help us all gain wider wisdom. 

Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn
An in-your-face informational and research-based book about the hidden consequences of traditional discipline and absolutely a must-read for every parent wishing not to psychologically scar their children!

Nurture Shock by Po Bronson and Ashley Merryman
​Po and Ashley did an excellent job of taking some of the best psychological research that applies to parenting and summing it up here for you.
