The Lie You Don't Know You Believe: How to Find It, Fight It, and Live Free by Jennie AllenAt the center of this book is a powerful idea: most of our struggles trace back to one core lie we've unknowingly believed -- I'm helpless, I'm worthless, or I'm unlovable. These lies don't just live in our thoughts; they shape our relationships and our everyday choices. What feels like personality or circumstance is often something deeper. This book helps you identify that story, understand how it took root, and replace it with truth so you can experience real, lasting freedom.

But I'm Bored!: Discover the Power of Independent Play to Raise Confident, Resilient Kids by Lizzie AssaBusy schedules, on-demand screens, and safety concerns have transformed the landscape of play for children today, and parents have been unfairly expected to fill in the gap. We love our kids, but we don't need to play with them 24/7 to be a good parent. Through high-impact, low-effort strategies, parents learn how to create play pockets in their home, choose open-ended toys that spark imagination, set play boundaries (and stick to them), and enforce the wonders of quiet time. Then, when parents do engage in play time with their kid, it doesn't feel like a job--it strengthens their relationship to their child and helps cultivate an overall happier, healthier environment for the whole family. |

Overinvested: The Emotional Economy of Modern Parenting by Nina BandeljAt the turn of the twentieth century, children went from being economically useful, often working to support families, to being seen by their parents as vulnerable and emotionally priceless. In the new millennium, however, parents have become overinvested in the emotional economy of parenting. Analyzing in-depth interviews with parents, national financial datasets, and decades of child-rearing books, Nina Bandelj reveals how parents today spend, save, and even go into debt for the sake of children.
