Can someone recommend a great GD book? I'm having a hard time since baby #4. I'm always either feeding or changing or rocking etc., etc., and it just seems like none of the other children will listen to me at all, I'm going a little crazy.<br><br>
Thanks!<br><br>

three books that come to mind from the little you have said about your situation:<br><br>
1. <b>connection parenting</b>, by pam leo. A great intro & overview on gd stuff<br><br>
2. <b>sibling rivalry</b>. Helps to appreciate sibling issues and offer appropriate communication tools<br><br>
3. <b>the phone book</b> <img alt="" class="inlineimg" src="http://www.mothering.com/discussions/images/smilies/wink1.gif" style="border:0px solid;" title="wink1"> To start ringing people you know to get some concrete support – whether it be friends cooking the occasional meal or a local teenager you can pay a little to hang around/ play/ help with that evening bath/ food/ bed period... just a thought but you mentioned going a little crazy<br><br>
all the best<br>
