Being a parent, especially a first time parent, can be overwhelming. With each new phase your child goes through, there's 100s more questions that pop up about what to do as a parent. No matter what, you're not alone. Someone else has been in the same situation as you and lived to tell the story.
Here are some top parenting resources recommended by YOU to check out!
I wish I enjoyed reading parenting books a bit more (but I honestly don't) So any books that I skip over I head over to chat GBT or google to give me a summary of the main points of the book.
