Welcome to Between Parent and Child

Parenting may be the hardest yet most important–and ultimately the most rewarding–work a person can do. But parenting know-how does not come automatically.

Between Parent and Child may be the best parenting book ever written. Since it was first published in 1965 it has sold millions of copies. It is on the short list of all-time great self-help books in The Authoritative Guide to Self-Help Books. What is it so popular?
