looking for guidance/inspiration...
ds is three and all the books on toddlers seem to young for him. He is a very lively little boy, endless energy and can be very loving and affectionate, but also v.obstinate and angry. Looking for parenting books to read, and also books with activites...
I like routines, they work well with him, he is happy when he knows what's happening and likes to take an active part in the household then. We dont have a tv, but have dvd player and internet, but I dont like him having access to these and am planning to buy new furniture that keep them out of reach!
I like outdoor activities for children, not put off by bad weather! Also, prefer parenting methods that rule by love rather than fear IYSWIM. I want to encourage him, build his confidence and independance rather than simply make him obey rules, but in practical terms I think I am probably somewhere in between the two.
So.....with all this in mind, can anyone suggest some books I might like/find useful?
