Helpful books for AP success

I am reading a book called 'Buddhism for mothers' by Sarah Napthali, it explores the potential to be with your children in the present moment and how to gain the most joy out of being with them... and its funny how attachment parenting ties in with this

(not that im saying everyone should be buddhist, but there are similarities in the theories that have helped me alot with my AP)

Has anyone read any amazing books that you think other mothers could benefit from?

and "Unconditional Parenting" by Alfie Kohn

geralyn i'll have to message you to say thanks for your bithday wishes!!!

This book seems to just be for mothers of any aged child, but i mean its like when you read your horoscope and it is totally meant for you beause it all seems to line up with what your experiencing...long winded way of saying the book is AWESOME, and will suit any mother

Has anyone heard of the Redwood Tara school in soquel? im itching to send Phoenix there

I figured in out... The "reprint" in 2008 was called "... of young children"... It must be (almost) identical..... Thanks for the recommendation - it sounds inspirational.

Lucienne, great recommendation! Did you get the one for moms of young children or just the Buddhism for mothers one...?
