Parent Resources

I am often asked about my favourite parenting resources.  Every single one of these books are available at the Burnaby Public Library.  They have an extremely impressive cookbook section and I love to try books out before I buy them.  Click on the photos if you are interested in purchasing info.

Good Inside: A Guide to Becoming the Parent You Want to Be

Dr. Becky is my favourite resource.  She also has a podcast and a great Instagram account.  She has a paid site if you are wanting extra support too.

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success: Dweck, Carol S.: 9780345472328: Books - Amazon.caCarole Dweck – Mindset

This is a great book for growth mindset.  Is has a section on parenting and how to raise your children with a growth mindset vs. a fixed mindset.  You can also see our post on How to Support Growth Mindset at Home for further recommendations.

 

Cookbooks – Cooking with your children teaches them a broad range of skills from math to following instructions.  We highly recommend you cook with your kids.  They will become a lot more interested in healthy foods and may try new things they have never tried before.  Here are our favourite cookbooks, which both share great tips for cooking with kids:
