What are the best parenting books you've come across that have helped you the most?
So far, for myself, I really like: Setting Limits with your Strong-Willed Child by Robert J MacKenzie. I wish I could say this book has changed by life, but somehow it's much easier said than done. This book has been a huge help, but I'm not the perfect parent either.
Another book I'm currently reading is: She's Gonna Blow, by Julie Barnhill. I'm only 70 pgs into it, but I'm sure I'll learn some good things from this book as well. It deals with anger.
Please share the books that have made the most impression on you and your family.

About 9 years ago I read "Kids are Worth It" by Barbara Coloroso. She has written several books on family and parenting, and parenting special needs children, etc. She even does speaking engagements.
More recently I read Dr. Phil's "Family First".
I don't remember much of Coloroso's book because it was so long ago, but Dr. Phil's made an impression on me probably because I still hear him saying that stuff on television. It is a very good book to read. I think Dr. Phil is a very wise man.
