Our catalog manager, Marian Adair, reviews hundreds of parenting books and videos, not to mention character education materials, each year. Marian has been with Active Parenting for over 15 years and has a thorough understanding of Active Parenting skills and values. She is also mindful of a product's value—is it worth the price? The resources offered here were selected for their high quality, readability, and support of Active Parenting principles.

Books for enhancing parenting skills and parent educators

Many of the parenting materials Marian selects are of use mostly to educators (people who lead parenting classes). Those are found in our complete online catalog. The products shown on this page are specifically for parents and children. All are priced under $50.

The links at left will lead you to a wide array of recommended books—in English and in Spanish, for adults and for kids. There's even a section of books that are great for baby showers, new parents, new grandparents… anyone. You'll also find a collection of children's books that are entertaining as well as educational. Enhance your parenting skills, find solutions to problems, and be inspired by clicking the links here!
