I am looking for some child development/parenting books. There are so many online and I don't know where to start! I'm happy to buy some based on development and some on parenting but equally don't mind if they cover both areas. DS is 2. Thank you

Dan Siegel has written a few helpful books on understanding kids - i have found them very useful especially the whole brain child and no drama discipline :-)

Different genre altogether, but I also like The Montessori Toddler for encouraging me to give her opportunities to do more things independently
