Transforming The Difficult Child: The Nurtured Heart Approach, by Howard Glasser, MA and Jennifer Easley, MA
This book is very good at getting you to see how to use the positive instead of negative with difficult children (or any children). It didn't "fix" our problem and it's a hard method to follow, but I learned a lot from reading it and I try to use some of the suggestions and see them working as my daughter is more stable.

cover Busy But Balanced, by Mimi Doe
Broken up by months, Mimi gives you essays and ideas on how to be calm and rat
ional in our stressed and overscheduled world.
cover Playful Parenting, by Lawrence J. Cohen, PhD
My favorite parenting book of all time. This book will help you see the positive, the times when you can intervene and have fun instead of have a fight. A must read!
cover Non-Violent Communication by Marshall B. Rosenberg
An excellent tool for dealing with anyone. Takes the basic "I" statement to a new high. A search on Amazon.com revealed many other books around NVC, some by the same author and some not. There is one by Rosenberg for parents!
cover Mitten Strings For God, by Katrina Kenison
A beautiful collection of essays on many subjects affecting mothers in the 21st century.
cover Row, Row, Row Your Boat: A Guide for Living Life in the Divine Flow, by Stephen Lane Taylor
Written by a good friend of mine, this book is short and easy to read but may change how you look at life. Sometime humorous, sometimes not, this book will have you thinking about the 'flow' of your life and are you rowing gently down your stream?
cover Kids Are Worth It! by Barbara Coloroso
An excellent book on parenting which does away with punishment and reward systems. Instead, Barbara give us ways to parent and honor our children and allowing them to make mistakes and endure natural consequences for themselves
  Working with Anxious, Nervous, and Depressed Children by Dr. Henning Kohler
This is a Waldorf book with an unfortunate title. I have heard many people say it's one of the best they have read. You will need an open mind for this one. This title should be available from the Rudolf Steiner College Bookstore
