I am a reader by nature. I have always loved to read. Primarily, I am an Anglophile and I read mostly fiction books set in England (mysteries are my favorite genre). However, upon becoming a parent, I have found myself reading more and more books on parenting. These three books are ones that have really had me thinking the most on what kind of parenting we do and what we are exposing Widget to environmentally, socially, emotionally.
You are Your Child’s First Teacher by Rahima Baldwin Dancy
Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv
Healthy Child, Healthy World by Christopher Gavigan
These are books I would like to read (both of which are on hold requests at our local library- yay for libraries!):
Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne
Mitten Strings for God by Katrina Kenison
If anyone has any additional suggestions, I would love to have them!

Richard Louv has written articles for Field and Stream too. I’ve been meaning to read his book. It’s definitely the way I feel about the kids getting outdoor exposure!
