Book Notes that I print out and hang on the fridge for quick reference.

I was searching for a good book on kind and effective ways of dealing with tantrums, conflicts and even everyday situations, so I looked through Positive Discipline Resources and picked up How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber, Elaine Mazlish.

I love that book and it is the most highly recomended resource that I've seen. I keep using it as a guideline and as a source of recipes up to this day.

• List of major child development books - things you can start doing even with a newborn
• Slow and Steady Get me Ready by June Oberlander - terrific list of activities that can be done using things available in every home for every week since birth to age five. We jump all over those activities.

Our great appreciation to Shannon Rizzo for sharing her own list of recomendations with us:

• Donna Simmon's "Joyful Movement" and "Kindergarten with your 3-6 year old"
  at Christopherus Homeschooling Bookstore
• "Beyond the Rainbow Bridge - Nurthing our children from birth to seven" by
  Barbara Patterson & Pamela Bradley
• "Magical Child" by Joseph Chilton Pierce (a classic and really good)
• "You are your Child's First Teacher" by Rahima Baldwin
• "Earthways - Simple Environmental Activities for Young Children" by Carol
  Petrash (this has in the back a list of recommended books by season, which
  has been really helpful)
• Some of these will not be in print at amazon, but a great resource is Waldorf Books. They
  have very fast shipping and usually throw in a free book as a surprise.

How To Teach Your Baby To Swim from birth to age six by Douglas Doman is a long awaited book on introducing newborns to swimming. A detailed set of instructions, beautifully illustrated with photographs, is separated into 8 chapters, having a chapter dedicated to each age segment. Well written and easy to understand, it has quite a lot of wonderful techniques:

• how to utilize your own bathtub and shower for introducing newborns to holding a breath
• how to walk backwards in a pool creating a current that makes it easier for the little ones to swim continuously
• how to structure the lessons and how to teach jumping from the wall
• most importantly - how to introduce skills necessary for children's safety and survival in the water
• ... and many others.

The downsides of the book were:

Books that helped me tremendously were "What Babies Say Before They Can Talk : The Nine Signals Infants Use to Express Their Feelings" by Paul Holinger, Kalia Doner and "Playful Parenting" by Lawrence J. Cohen.

Don't be mislead by the title: the first book is not purely for infants - the principles described there helped me with my husband, with my friends, and, of course, with my almost 2 year old. The first book is more "what you are trying to achieve", and Playful parenting is more "how to get there". I keep rereading parts of both.
