[Ydolem]

I am looking for suggestions on good parenting books. Suggestions for alternative education books are welcome too.

That's a really broad request! Can you give us some insight into what you're interested in? Is it for you or for someone else? Is it for your older kids or your little ones? Is it about discipline or feeding or something else?

You are right. I guess I am looking for a bit of everything. I have kids ranging from 15 to 9 mo. I am looking for non-traditional parenting books on any subject. I guess I could re-word it like this.....What was or is your most favorite non-traditional book on any subject pertaining parenting except pregnancy and birthing.

Liberated Parents, Liberated Children and How to Talk so Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk were life changing to me!

If you haven't read Our Babies, Ourselves or KIDS (both by Meredith Small) - they are both good and interesting.

Also not so much 'alternative,' but a fascinating book I read about recent science in child development, Nurtureshock.
