Let Them by Mel Robbins - This is a splendid read for those of you who think you can control others - through love - or whenever you think you know what is BEST for someone else. A great reminder to allow life…to flow.

Staring at the Sun (overcoming the dread of death) by Irvin D. Yalom - At the core of 99.9% of all anxiety is the fear of death.

Development Through the Lifespan (7th Edition) by Laura E. Berk - This is an academic book and such a great resource to have on hand for parents of newborns, toddlers, teenagers, and elderly parents. I refer to this book more often than I ever thought I would. It is a true gem - a wealth of information. Timelines are provided for ‘around the time’ your child should be meeting milestones; of course, every child does not ‘hit’ every marker but it does provide parents with good indicators.
