{My list of best child development books for parents that will offer insights into your child’s behavior.}
I’ve been on a new mission this year to read more…and not just on a glowing screen, but actual books. I read an article that some of the most successful people around (Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates) read at least 1 hour per day. In other words, the pattern of their success is ongoing learning. They spend at least 5 hours per week in some sort of deliberate learning (usually reading). To emulate this (if even a little) I’ve put together some of the best child development books for parents.
The thing I love about these child development books is that they combine both research-based insights and real-life examples. Although I deeply value research, some child development and parenting books are heavy on research but do not offer actionable advice. On the other extreme are parenting books that are primarily based on first-hand experience, psycho-jargon, but limited real research about child development. The books on this list strike a nice balance between providing enough research to be reliable but also offer helpful tips to parents for actual challenges they experience in real life.
It’s a work in progress so check back often. Enjoy!
