So I have another parenting book to bring up.

Screamfree Parenting by Hal Runkel

A very interesting read and theory about parenting. The book isn't one of these books that tells you specifically how to deal with specific situations. Rather it's about how we approach parenting, our mental attitude about it and what parenting really is, raising our children to be self aware, confident and self reliant adults. The idea is that first we need to look at ourselves and question our own actions, attitudes, behaviors and such before we can begin. We shouldn't be responsible "for" our children but "to" our children. It boils down to controling our own actions and not trying to control our children but influence and direct them. Sound familiar?

I give this book a full 5 stars, probably the best parenting book I have yet read.
