It is likely that during the year many parents do not have time to enjoy a good reading. Holidays are the ideal time to do it.
Therefore, from Babies and more we want to recommend to parents that they take a few days off a list of very interesting books that will accompany them in raising children.
Of course, there are many breeding lines and not all blog readers may find these books interesting. The intention is to create a kind of guide for reading books that I liked or I like its author because they coincide with a respectful and enjoyable way to raise children.
Here we go:
1. Kiss me a lot, Carlos González
I have recommended this book several times to both natural breeding fans and those who have no idea what it is.
The author, Carlos González, is a pediatrician and also the author of A gift for a lifetime, breastfeeding guide Y My child doesn't eat me.
In his book Kiss Me a lot tells us "How to raise your children with love" and qualifies it as “The book that teaches to take care of children as before”.
In my opinion it is essential in the library of those parents who intend to educate their children without stress, based on love, kisses and caresses. That does not mean being a soft father, not educating them, or letting them see that they have done something wrong, but to be more attentive to their needs, to be more understanding and loving parents.
It is an absolutely recommendable reading written with irony, very pleasant to read that surely you will start some laugh and much reflection.
2. Happy Parenting, Rosa Jové
From the author of Sleep without tears (for parents with children with sleep problems), Happy Parenting is a guide for parents on how to understand your child from 0 to 6 years.
Part of the premise that “We cannot begin to educate children without the conviction that they have the same rights as we adults do”. A very successful phrase that opens a new path to understanding.
I have not yet had the opportunity to read it but by comments from people who have already read it and by the style of its author, it will surely not disappoint and help you solve many difficult situations in everyday life.
3. The mind of the newborn baby, David Chamberlain
If you have just been a father or mother recently, this book is perfect to understand a little better what happens in the mind of your newborn baby. What are you thinking? What do you need? What do you claim with your crying? What do your eyes tell us?
The author is an eminence in the field of pre and perinatal psychology and founder of the Birth Psichology association on birth psychology.
It is a very attractive reading that invites us to enter the mind of a newborn baby. Understanding what our little ones think and feel will help us understand them better, a fundamental basis for being better parents.
4. Nine months of waiting, Gro Nylander
Whether you are pregnant or pretend to be shortly, this book is a great source of information about conception, pregnancy and childbirth.
It has been written by a famous obstetrician at the University of Oslo hospital, authority on natural breastfeeding and respectful births, also author of Maternity and Lactation.
The book is divided into: before pregnancy, each of the trimesters and childbirth, accompanied by each part of great photographs that illustrate each stage of the baby's development.
5. How to speak for your children to listen to you and how to listen for your children to speak to you, Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish
A book that is not a novelty, much less, but it is always good to take a look at this guide that I just reread a few days ago.
It is a highly recommended book for parents who want to learn to solve everyday problems without resorting to punishment, shouting or aggression, but making the child (or adolescent) understand their failures so that they learn to correct them and become better people and independents.
Through simple tips that we can easily put into practice we will launch a new way to educate and raise our children.
6. Five mothers, five stories
Finally, a book that I find exciting and highly recommended is the one written by five women who have become mothers in very different situations.
A foreign mother, a single mother by insemination, an adoptive mother, a mother who lived the death of a son and a conventional mother have contributed their own stories creating a puzzle of stories with which many women will feel identified.
On the project website, Five Mothers can take a look at the first chapter.
I hope they are of interest our recommended books for parents and take advantage of the rest days. On the way back, we await your comments on the works.
