Awesome, thank you for sharing!I have one. It’s not exactly parenting per se.. more like changing your entire understanding of children. It changed my life.
For the Children’s Sake by Susan Schaeffer Macaulay
George,A big part of what constitutes a "good" parenting advice will depend on your worldview.
If you have a Christian worldview (or at least you're open-minded enough to examine new information, no matter the source), a great parenting book would be King Me: What Every Son Wants and Needs from His Father.
The author (Steve Farrar ) uses kings of the Old Testament as character studies to examine the critical role a father plays in preparing his son to become a godly man, concluding that what separated the "good kings" from the "bad kings" in the Old Testament was a father who made time commitments to mentor his son.
I think that's true irrespective of your worldview. And despite the "son" bias, I see no reason why making time commitments to mentor your daughter wouldn't be as helpful.
Also, as my little boy (who will be 4 in December) grows up, I seem him trying to ape me in everything I do. As a result, I've come to appreciate that the biggest parenting advice is for parents to live an exemplary life for their childing to ape. And a critical piece of that puzzle is how the parents treat and relate to each other!
