Recommended Parenting Books
Parenting is an art. It's also a life skill that requires practice, lots of fine tuning, a sense of humor and as much helpful input as possible. That's why from time to time I'll be recommending great books to help you with your parenting journey. If you’ve got any books that you highly recommend for parents of teens, I'd appreciate hearing from you because I'm still learning too!
In friendship,
Annie
