I:0:T There are many factors to consider when seeking the best parenting books. I've been reading parenting books for forty-some years. I must say that the best sellers, which are the ones that are marketed most successfully, are not always the superior parenting books for assisting parents in raising their children.

One very important thing about superior parenting books is that they should come from the writers' experience, meaning that the writers should actually have raised at least a couple of their own children and tested out the techniques they recommend. But many of the authors of parenting books base their work more on professional expertise or formal education such as medical training. The problem with this is that faulty knowledge from former generations of experts is passed on to new experts. I have personally been affected by such faulty advice in dealing with the temper tantrums of my own children, until I learned on my own with my fifth child that tantrums are totally, one hundred percent preventable. (My first five children all threw tantrums, my last eight didn't.)

Another hallmark of the very best parenting books is advice that shows respect to every family member, not just the parents, or one parent, and not just the children. Great parenting books also need to have a respectful tone in approaching the readers. They should not come across with We happen to be the experts and you guys are the dummies kind of attitudes. There shouldn't be any talking down to the readers.

The best parenting books available will always use plain language because the writers will not seek to impress readers with their large vocabulary or their formal education. They will, instead, be easily able to impress readers with their good advice, which will consist of common sense, easy-to-use, workable, and doable parenting techniques. The best parenting books will also have the largest amount of useful, helpful advice.

Another aspect of the very best parenting books is that they should be entertaining. They should be interlaced with real-life parenting examples to reinforce the concepts being taught. Any writers of parenting books who have raised their own children should be capable of thinking of entertaining and helpful examples to enrich their parenting advice and render it more memorable. Speaking from the perspective of an experienced parent, I think these are the most important things about the best parenting books.
