1. Throw all the books into the recycling and never buy another.

2. Naturally quiet and passive children are born that way, and it's due to inherited personality traits that the parents likely have as well. We are all like this to some degree in the family.

3. If you have a feisty kid, you will need to do extra parenting, arm yourself with more patience, and accept smaller results over a longer period of time. That's OK, and not a reflection of your parenting skills!

4. If you believe your kid's behaviors are truly out of the range of normal for their age, do not hesitate in getting them evaluated by a psychologist for ADHD, ASD, or whatever else you believe they might have. Early intervention helps a lot. Also be aware that teachers cannot actually come out and pronounce these words. They will couch it in "attention issues", "speaks out of turn" , "needs repeated directions", "has emotional outbursts", etc...

For point 1, do you mean parenting books or books for your kids?  Because it takes all kinds and I respect your opinion but I firmly believe lots and lots of books (for kids, fiction and non, new and old) are essential for a happy and healthy childhood.[/quote]

Ha ha ha! What do you think I meant?

My oldest is about to graduate from high school. He was a bookworm from a young age, like my other kids and myself. The self-help book world is another beast altogether, and not worth OP's money.

However, the behaviors of hypersensitive children, or those with extreme reactions, should be discussed with the pediatrician and researched online by the parent. I have a child with inattentive ADHD/ASD and learning disabilities and they appeared early on in toddlerhood. It was clear there was something going on, and even though his complex profile took years to be fully teased out, at least we were able to get physical, occupational and speech therapies for everything that stood out. This kid required very different, much more intensive, parenting than my other children.

I was reading it before coffee and thought you meant throw out all books, like literally all of the books in your house and I had a moment there.  😂😂🤣

I then reread and thought maybe you meant parenting books only.  I haven’t found a use for them yet but I have friends who like them and think as long as no one thinks that any one parenting book is gospel truth and will work for all kids they’re not harming anyone.[/quote]
