Good Reads and Website

 
 Vicki Courtney is one of my favorites when it comes to parenting books and blogging.  She has great resources for parents of girls and boys. Two really good books by her are "Your Girl" and "Your Boy". Both of those books are about raising godly sons or daughters in an ungodly world. More recently she has come out with "5 Conversations you must have with your daughter" and "5 Conversations you must have with your son". It deals with conversations you need to have with your children about the lies that surround them in our culture. I have just started the son one and definitely recommend it. The daughter one has a workbook that goes along with it. The son book just came out this summer so I'm sure a workbook will follow at some point.

I love her because she is a real not a perfect mom. You don't have to read very far on her blog to see that she and her family struggle like the rest of us. But she does have a great passion and love for her children and connecting with them where they are. I admire her humor and honesty. Her books are very practical and feel like you are having a conversation with her.  Also you could pick and choose the chapters that apply most to what you and your children are dealing with at the time. 

Her website is interactive and very informative- it includes videos, a bookstore, blog and more. You can also sign up to receive email from her if you wish. Hope you find it as helpful as I have! http://vickicourtney.com/
