Welcome to the section of The Word Pool where we feature books and links to help you parent your children. We are trying to make this section as comprehensive as possible so we particularly want to include the toughest part of parenting - caring for children who are unhappy, sick, disabled or emotionally scarred.

In addition to books aimed at parents, we've also included reviews of some good children's fiction which may give you a useful insight into your children's feelings.

We would welcome your help in developing this section. If you can recommend a book or link, please contact us.
