Resources on Parenting & Early Childhood Education

Note: this post is just a draft in progress. As of now, it consists of a collection of random notes.

The following provides a compact listing about resources and material I found interesting, on both parenting and early childhood education. This includes books, blogs, and podcasts. The intent is to make use of those resources, plus notes collectedfrom our parenting coach, as a source of material for subsequent posts on the topic of parenting and early childhood education. Some of the books are still in my to-read list, which I indicate by an un-checked box. Books in the “in-progress” list are colored in purple, and they are left unchecked if I read just a few chapters.
