What’s Your Parenting Style? My Go-To Book List to Inform Your Parenting Philosophy

The decision fatigue of parenting is so very real. As exhaustion, self-doubt and comparison creep in, it can be hard to know what choices to make for your kids. Getting on the same page as your partner or co-parent can be another challenge in finding your footing. Maybe you’re new to this, or maybe you’re feeling the overwhelm of having been in the trenches for years without a clear vision of your mission. Here are some great books I recommend as you consider your parenting philosophy!

  1. Cribsheet - Emily Oster

  2. Bringing up Bébé - Pamela Druckerman

  3. Raising a Secure Child - Kent Hoffman, Glen Cooper, & Bert Powell

  4. Free to Learn - Peter Gray

  5. Hunt, Gather, Parent - Michaeleen Doucleff

  6. Free Range Kids - Lenore Skenazy
