Books

My vision for the books section of Attachment Mama is to create an AP Book Snapshots community in which parents collaborate to present summaries of books using a handy template that I’ve created.  The beneficiaries: hopefully moms and dads like me that sincerely desire to know all the parenting tips and tricks contained in the 20 AP-related books on the shelf or nightstand, but feel challenged to find the time to read them all.

Here, you can read a quick understanding of the author’s views and get a few bullet point recommended strategies for specific parenting challenges and then when you have more time, finish the rest of the book to learn more.  Parents interested in contributing as guest writers of the Attachment Mama AP Book Snapshots community, please contact me.

The first two “kick off” book summaries that you’ll find are for Alfie Kohn’s Unconditional Parenting and Lawrence J. Cohen’s Playful Parenting.  I welcome your comments and additional recommended titles.

Also on my list:

  • Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth, Ina May Gaskin;
  • Happiest Baby on the Block & Happiest Toddler on the Block, Harvey Karp;
  • The No Cry Sleep Solution, Elizabeth Pantley;
  • Discipline without Distress, Judy Arnall;
  • Siblings without Rivalry & How to Talk so Kids Will Listen and Listen so Kids will Talk, Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish;
  • Raising our Children, Raising Ourselves, Naomi Aldort;
  • Tears & Tantrums, Aletha Jauch Solter;
