Best ideas for dealing with difficult situations
I thought this book would apply only for older children, but I've found several techniques that already apply and WORK with my 2 1/2 year old child. I love the way the book is organized and I love how it really gives many specific examples of how to apply the methods to different situations.

How to talk so your kids will listen & Listen so your kids will talk
This book really helps in learning how to talk to children instead of yelling at them. Also since I've read it and put the advice into action my child seems to be talking to me more.

A very Enlightening Book
This is such an important area that all of us as parents need to learn. How we speak and interact with our kids is the basis for their success in life. One of the best parenting books that not only outlines all the important child-rearing principles but also how to help your child become a happy and empowered young person is Bully-Proofing Children: A Practical, Hands-On Guide to Stop Bullying. Filled with scripts,activities and recommendations for building self-esteem... it is really parenting at its finest.
