This website tries to help you find great books, games, toys,  activities, and more for your children without having to spend lots of time looking for it.

Use the menu bar at the top to browse through all available categories.

Before you start exploring the books section, I suggest you read the explanation of how book recommendations are grouped together.

Feel free to add a comment or an idea, and share your knowledge with other parents so more people can benefit from your discovery. Please don’t hesitate to post suggestions for what you would like to see here, whether it’s tips for the best card games or a perfect water bottle.

My intention was to launch the Tips when it’s reasonably comprehensive and I believe I’ve reached that point. I will keep working on the lists on an ongoing basis – adding, editing, and adjusting. For example, I only just began working on book recommendations for kids ages 10 and up so please come back in a couple of weeks if you have older kids.

The Young Adult section will probably take a few more months to complete because I will be soon busy with all things  Christmas and I feel like I need a break from the computer anyway.

Here are some other section I would like to work on in the near future:

• Books For Boys
• Historical fiction
• Movies based on books

Thank you and enjoy!

If I had my child to raise all over again

If I had my child to raise all over again,

I’d build self-esteem first, and the house later.

I’d finger paint more, and point the finger less.

I would do less correcting and more connecting.

I’d take my eyes off my watch, and watch with my eyes.

I would care to know less and know to care more.

I’d take more hikes and fly more kites.

I’d stop playing serious, and seriously play.

I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars,

I’d do more hugging and less tugging.

I’d see the oak tree in the acorn more often,

I would be firm less often, and affirm much more.

I’d model less about the love of power,

And more about the power of love.
