I took a parenting/child development course in high school and we had to read excerpts from it and I loved it so much I had to go and buy it right then and there! You know what a lot of people find hilarious? And my husband teases me about it so much. I don't have kids of my own, nor do I plan to for at least another 2 or 3 years, but I have been a "Parents" magazine subscriber for about 5 years now. I have so many back issues that my magazine box is overflowing and cluttering up the office, but I love going back through them and finding activity or discipline ideas.MissMannahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-13737273722807676882011-06-19T01:37:39.264-04:002011-06-19T01:37:39.264-04:00I'm a trained pre-school teacher and I use all...I'm a trained pre-school teacher and I use all of my books and learning in my job every day. I also devour anything relating to parenting, childrearing, toddler and pre-school teaching etc. My husband has told me I am not allowed to buy any more books. I wonder if you can get decent reference books on kindle...hmmmmm.<br /><br />I must admit to often reading books and then arguing with the authors as I read if I disagree with something lol!Sarahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-15961969648282693872011-06-17T15:42:54.411-04:002011-06-17T15:42:54.411-04:00I'm the same way.

They have the 365 ideas you were mentioning and that was great when my charge was younger. I get lots of ideas from blogs and magazines too, this summer we are cooking once a week as well which she LOVES. Also am starting to teach the phonics and I have been finding myself researching that quite a bit! :)justthenannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-24864810387002003492011-06-17T15:33:42.344-04:002011-06-17T15:33:42.344-04:00Blythe - I love "How to Talk so Kids Will Lis...Blythe - I love "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen" It was assigned to me a few years back in one of my child development classes and I absolutely adore it! It is a very easy read and helps parents/nannies/teachers learn appropriate ways to communicate. I highly recommend this book to anyone who works with or has children of their own.A nanny who caresnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-88692675055162677362011-06-17T01:43:36.784-04:002011-06-17T01:43:36.784-04:00Oh man, I read parenting books like they are writt...Oh man, I read parenting books like they are written for me personally! I am not, however, a parent-- just a nanny who really likes research. My very favourite parenting/nannying book is "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen, and Listen so Kids Will Talk." I can't rave about it enough. It's incredible. <br /><br />I'm nannying for a self-identified "tween," and another book I've found helpful (though scary) is "Queen Bees and Wannabes." Good to read, but scared the living daylights out of me. <br /><br />Will post more if I think of them, but those are my staples right now. I also get a subscription to Family Fun magazine-- they have awesome activities, ideas, and stories!Blythehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04169241676150583021noreply@blogger.com
