So before I suggest a title, I typically issue the disclaimer that I hope parents will see books and other parenting resources not as instruction manuals to be followed rigidly or blindly, but rather as sources of ideas to contemplate, experiment with, and customize.
That said, here are a few resources that have been inspiring and informative for me:
http://www.handinhandparenting.org/ (Which is obviously not a book, but a website with lots of great articles, plus some inexpensive pamphlets that can be ordered.)
Becoming the Parent You Want To Be: A Sourcebook of Strategies for the First Five Years
Kids, Parents, and Power Struggles: Winning for a Lifetime
The Explosive Child: A New Approach for Understanding and Parenting Easily Frustrated, Chronically Inflexible Children
Scattered: How Attention Deficit Disorder Originates and What You Can Do About It
Please Stop the Rollercoaster!: How Parents of Teenagers Can Smooth Out the Ride
Joint Custody with a Jerk: Raising a Child with an Uncooperative Ex, A Hands on, practical guide to coping with custody issues that arise with an uncooperative ex-spouse
I have posted a rather extensive list of recommended resources on many topics, including parenting, on my other website: http://www.karenalonge.com/resource.htm. I haven't updated it to include my up-to-the-minute favorites, but there's enough there to keep you busy for quite a while.
I'd love to hear your recommendations, so please let me know about your favorites by posting a comment, so others can enjoy them as well!
