I am asked all the time about my favorite parenting books, for help with specific problems, and how to advance the early education of children at home. Here are a few of my favorite books and a few favorite books from our staff!
If you have any recommendations feel free to email them to me at Lauren@wowchildcare.org.
Discipline
So many times we are asked for our favorite discipline systems and our favorite books to help parents at home. I have recommended this book to so many people, I should probably start getting a cut of every sale. I not only use this system at home, but often talk to parents about using it at home. It takes the negotiation away from discipline and puts in place clear and easy to follow rules for your kiddos.

Early Reading
This system is amazing! It will teach your child to read and takes only minutes a day. This system is best used when children have clear words, have an attention span of about 15 minutes, and when they show interest in reading. This is a phonics based program and includes comprehension.

Child Development
The Whole Brain Child is a great book that gets right to the point. It not only talks about your child's emotional development but also gives you tips on how to raise resiliant children.
