I only did the Sleeping Child, Sane Parent parenting book club (#SCSPbookclub) for a few months near the end of 2021, but I am VERY excited to keep it going all year in 2022!
Each month we’ll read a different parenting book. We’ll cover all sorts of topics, but look through the specific lens of parenting. Our role as parents is such an important one, so I’m always looking for ways to improve. I hope you’ll join me!
Sometime at the end of each month, I’ll publish a blog post with my top takeaways on the book. I’ll also go Live on Instagram with a guest who is an expert in the given topic, and he or she will share their top takeaways. If you leave a comment on the specific IG post or join in Live, you’ll also be able to share your insights and ask questions of the guest!
Below you’ll find the start of this year’s book list, and I’ll keep this blog post up to date as more books, guests, and dates are finalized; plus, I’ll link to the top-takeaway blog posts as I write them throughout the year. Let’s do this!
