Parenting Book Club

February:

(This one is written more as a self-help book rather than a parenting book but I thought it might be useful for helping kids establish good mental health habits)

March:

Live Love Now: Relieve the Pressure and Find Real Connection with Our Kids by Rachel Macy Stafford

Loved this one!
