Kathie,
We have used a book titled "The Safe, Self-Confident Child" successfully in
parenting classes before. I believe that we obtained it through New Reader's
Press. It was easy enough for our low-level readers to understand, but the
book was still practical and informative. I am interested to hear what
others have used as well...
Hope that helps!

We have grant money to develop a library of children's books on tape and
parenting books for a local homeless shelter.

I am looking for a list of parenting books suitable for lower literacy
levels -- does anyone have or know of such a resource?  Even individual
title suggestions would help.  I have looked for hours on the Internet to no
avail.

Thank you!
