    I was going to recommend "Parenting With Love and Logic" as well, they have a book for younger children.

    I don't follow RIE practices all the time, but the acknowledging feelings and "sportscasting" techniques have worked wonders.

    I like "The Preschool Years" by Ellen Galinsky.  I think a lot of it applies to younger children as well.  It gives a lot of perspective on how kids think and advice on practical day to day stuff.  She also doesn't have a one style fits all approach (I think she lists 17 different forms of discipline, none of which are spanking).

    It's one of few parenting books I have read where I believe that the author has a) researched child development, and b) actually parented young children.

    I second "Parenting with love and logic"! It has worked wonders.

    I just bought parenting with love and logic and how to talk so kids will listen...

    I feel like I need some fresh perspective on our issues together sometimes. This toddler stuff is hard. Sometimes he's amazing and then other times.... Terrible.

    Toddler Tactics by Pinky McKay is supposed to be pretty good.

    I also really like Love and Logic books.  The one for birth to 6 is called Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood.    Some of the things in the book seem a bit harsh but they really do work.  DD's pre-school even hosted a seminar with the author of the books.  It was eye opening.

    Edit: When I said Harsh I don't mean physically.  There is no physical punishment in the book.

    I need to check out these books.  It's so hard sometimes.  I am finding 3 is much worse than 2!  Lord help me!  DD acts so much better with everyone else but me

    Not a book but I like ahaparenting.com a lot. They have different sections for each age group.
