Re: In search of a list of books to recommend
I loved How to Really Love Your Child by Ross Campbell. He is endorsed by FOTF, but his language is gentle and he makes a wonderful case against spanking and even punishing.
Scream Free Parenting was long and dragged, but my husband really liked it. I liked how so much responsibility to manage yourself and your reactions was taken from the children and put on you. I can't remember if he mentioned using time outs, but I am certain the book did not paint children as would be tyrants that would destroy your marriage if you did not get them in line.
