Guys I need help on which books to read about parenting. Assistance highly appreciated.

I doubt there is a book that will help – parenting is a natural instinct

I was just teasing you above. Here are a few:

I found the following informative

1. 7 Habits of highly effective people-There are parts that talk about communication, moreso communication with children

2. Gordon Neufeld-His DVDs are awesome! Getting into a childs head and introspectively into yours too. I got this while looking up bullying, but I put it as a must watch for people who interact with each other, especially with children.

3. The two 'Classic Educational shorts' How to be a man and how to be a woman. One of the best educational videos your children will watch and learn from. Very old videos '70s but the messages are priceless

4. Children needs to watch and learn videos on the importance of eating right(good healthy food and how to eat it), exercise etc and get to see how diseases come about. Videos on STDs and AIDs are a must watch like the one Tuju made. I've looked for it to no avail.

5. The most important 'book' is the Bible. Written, Audio and Video. If your child can have all the Christian movies ever made like the new series 'The Bible', twould be swell

the books from the west won't help you much, start spending more time with people who have raised kids, the best education you can get is by accumulating as much from the real life experiences and hope you will be prepared to encounter the same.

though they always find a new unique thing to test you with.

i tend to agree with you. the status of children of the west indicates the 'efficacy' of those books.

My advice to you being a father of two kids, don't be academic in your parenting because you're not raising robots. If God has given you children, he has equipped you with all you need. It's automatic and all children are unique in a way only their parents can understand.

Oh but you could get these books so you can know what to watch out for in your child:
1. What to expect when you are expecting (which I think you have)
2. What to expect the first year.

yeah Right... Teenage years is the worst of them.. #stollen
“Mothers of Teenagers Know Why Animals Eat Their Young”

Something I remember from Gordon Neufeld
1. Reward system. Parents have this thing about rewarding good behavior. But what is its effect? Reward is a form of manipulation. No one, least of all a child wants to be manipulated. Once they realize that, kwisha wewe. He talked about sex, what if you paid your spouse after every touchdown? Would it motivate him/her to engage in more future coitus? Prostitutes don't look forward to aviation.
2. Every action having a similar and opposite reaction. What is the reaction of a child after telling him/her to do something? He equated that to, how do you feel when you tell yourself you will do something. Don't you immediately feel resistance? How then do you get yourself, someone, a child to do something whilst not encountering any resistance?

Boss, I learnt things I've never thought of.
