Valuable Books Every Mom Should Read

#1 - 5 Love Languages for children and teenagers 

One of the main books that you have to read is the 5 Love Languages for Children, or if you have teenagers, there is a book for them as well, 5 Love Languages for Teenagers.

This book will help you identify your child's love language and how they respond to and receive love. As your child gets older their love language may change so getting another book for teenagers could be beneficial. There are five communication styles:

• Quality Time

• Words of Affirmation

• Gifts

• Acts of Service

• Physical Touch

This book will help you discover their primary love language to help you meet their deepest emotional needs. It will help build emotionally stronger and healthier men and women and less broken people into this world.

#2 - How Am I Smart? 

This book will help you understand the eight "smarts" at work in your child. This book is great if you start reading this when they are young, so you can get a head start on their grades. If you already have a teenager, it is not too late, but you may need to work harder to help them find their smart. There are eight "smarts" that your child could be best in: Word Smart, Logic Smart, Picture Smart, Music Smart, Body Smart, Nature Smart, People Smart, and Self Smart. Understanding these "smarts" can help you discern and develop your child's unique wiring.

#3 - The Love Dare for Parents 

If you are familiar with the movie Love Dare this is an awesome book to read for your children. Love Dare was actually meant for marriage and relationships. The author of Love Dare decided to create a similar book, but for parents.

This 40-day love dare book includes note pages for you to journal and use for a keepsake. Each day has a dare for you to do for your child or with your child. If you already know your child's love language, this book will be a great addition to helping you show them love using their love language.

#4 - The Power of a Praying Parent and The Power of Praying for Your Adult Children 

As a Christian mother, there is nothing more important than praying for your children. A mother's prayer can move mountains for her children, they can send a thousand angels to protect her children, they are the warriors for their family. The book "Power of a Praying Parent" are for parents that have children still in school. The book "Power of Praying for Your Adult Children" are for your adult children that have moved away and on their own. If your adult child is still in the home you can use both books to pray over them, their rooms, their cars, their footsteps.

My son has moved away and is on his own serving in the military. I pray using both books, I change the wording for some prayers. I pray one prayer from one book and read another prayer from the other book. I do this every morning and every night. I cover my son with prayers every single day of his life. He has been through life situations and sometimes I wonder if my prayers are working. However, God works with us in parenting our children. Our prayers release our permission for God to take over our children's situations. It also allows God to release the safety and protection that our children need. I cannot stress more on how much prayer works and how important it is. If you choose to only purchase one book from this list, I recommend one of these.

5. Boundaries with Kids 

Last, but not least, is the book about boundaries. In this day and age, we need to teach our children the gift of having healthy boundaries. It will help you recognize behavior problems, set healthy consequences with your kids, help your children develop self-control, and implement boundaries with your children.

This book helps to raise your children in a healthy environment. They will grow up learning how to take responsibility for their own actions, attitudes, and emotions.

This is also a participant study book. You may want to do this study in your local church or in your school. It has a workbook, to help you along your journey while teaching yourself and your children about boundaries. Doing this study with others helped bring different perspectives and solutions into situations and is recommended if you have an opportunity to do so.
