Parenting 101
 Have you checked out our parenting section in the hallway by the children's room recently? Don't be fooled by the location. While there's your classic What'll I do with the baby-oh? and Help! there's a toddler in the house!, there's also many resources on parenting through the tween and teen years, such as Have a new teenager by Friday, and Healthy eating, healthy weight for kids and teens. There are some diverse philosophies on parenting, like Mean moms rule (also available as an ebook), and It's ok not to share, as well as some great activity ideas in Naturally fun parties for kids and The book of gardening projects for kids. There's even a special collection of children's picture books that present issues such as celiac disease, divorce, and death. Here's a list of new books, but you also might find some hidden treasures by browsing. And if you're looking for something specific that we don't have, just let us know!
