Differently Wired by Deborah Reber (2018)
Today millions of kids are stuck in a world that doesn't respect, support, or embrace who they really are - these are what Deborah Reber is calling the “differently wired” kids, the one in five children with ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger’s, giftedness, anxiety, sensory processing disorder, and other neurodifferences. Their challenges are many. But for the parents who love them, the challenges are just as hard - struggling to find the right school, the right therapist, the right parenting group while feeling isolated and harboring endless internal doubts about what’s normal, what’s not, and how to handle it all.

How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber (2012)
This user-friendly guide will empower parents and caregivers to forge rewarding, joyful relationships with terrible two-year-olds, truculent three-year-olds, ferocious four-year-olds, foolhardy five-year-olds, self-centered six-year-olds, and the occasional semi-civilized seven-year-old. And, it will help little kids grow into self-reliant big kids who are cooperative and connected to their parents, teachers, siblings, and peers.
The Incredible Years by Carolyn Webster-Stratton ( 2006)
The Incredible Years: A Trouble-Shooting Guide for Parents of Children Aged 3-8.

Parents unprepared for this may react with anger, more likely escalating the problem than solving it. Or, they may be overwhelmed by feelings of helplessness.
Simplify by Bill Hybels (2013)
Exhausted. Overwhelmed. Overscheduled. Sound familiar? Today’s velocity of life can consume and control us . . . until our breakneck pace begins to feel normal and expected. That’s where the danger lies: When we spend our lives doing things that keep us busy but don’t really matter, we sacrifice the things that do. Simplify identifies the core issues that lure us into frenetic living—and offers practical steps for sweeping the clutter from our souls.
