Over the years I've found some really great parenting resources in books, yes.. old-fashioned books, imagine that! With all the technology we have invading our lives it's amazing how some things about parenting just haven't changed much. Our kids still throw tantrums, if there are siblings, they still fight and, by golly, just about everyone struggles with getting their kids to do their chores on time or at all.
Here's a partial list of books that I've found really helpful that some of you might enjoy. Some are on audible if you'd rather listen!
Classic Love and Logic Books: I started my parenting work using these two books which are amazing resources for all parents. The second one is meant for parents of teens which isn't my favorite book for parents of teens but it's pretty up there.
Books for Parenting Teens and to Adulthood: Both these books are so helpful for getting ideas on how NOT to over parent your teen yet develop respectful and helpful relationships that will help them grow. Both these authors happen to be from Silicon Valley.
