Parenting book recommendation.

Admission #1, I have never bought a parenting book, with the exception of What to Expect When Expecting and What to Expect the First Year.

Admission #2, I'm terrified of over thinking parenthood.  I think it is the plight of many older parents (face it, we aren't 22 like most of our parents were when they had us), to overthink, and over control parenting--we are older, we know the pitfalls,  and we also are know much better at controlling our environment than a 22 year old.  I know so many people who have read every parenting book under the sun and make themselves crazy with trying so hard.  The results are narotic kids who are over stimulated, over pampered....basically over-everything.  In my fear of falling into this trap, I think I've inadvertently swung to the opposite extreme of the spectrum....hence, the lack of parenting books on my bookshelves. 

So, despite the fact that my doctor has twice recommended this book over the past two years, and despite having my hands full with two very energetic, curious, and ready to test limits at every corner toddlers  (which isn't every kid I've come to realize....some are mellower, some aren't as curious, and some don't test limits like it is an Olympic sport), I have until yesterday NOT bought this book.  I was prompted to actually by my girlfriend who is a children's at risk counselor for a school district, and currently getting her second Master's Degree in something related.  She mentioned the book and said one of her longtime mentors, a child pyschologist has referred to the book consistently over the years and swears by it.  O.K., time to investigate, it isn't like I couldn't use loads of tips, suggestions and techniques.

The book is one most of you probably have already heard about, but for the few like me who haven't, I'm passing it on, "Parenting with Love & Logic" by Foster Cine, MD, and Jim Fay.  It is a great book, and exactly what I wanted and needed to read if I only read one book on parenting for the rest of my life (which in my case may in fact be exactly what happens)....wish I had read it 2 years ago!!
