Why Your Toddler Is Always Overwhelmed — What Books Helped Me

from The Ashley Ventrice Show · host Ashley Ventrice

Today we talk about five books that have shaped how I think about parenting, child development, and how we show up in family life. These books helped me move from hustle and stress to intention and calm:   📘 The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins 📘 The 5 Love Languages of Children by Gary Chapman & Ross Campbell 📘 The Danish Way of Parenting by Jessica Joelle Alexander & Iben Sandahl 📘 The Hurried Child by David Elkind 📘 Atomic Habits by James Clear   Each one offers timeless wisdom about emotional freedom, connection, play, healthy pace of life, and building habits that stick. Join me as I break down not just what these books say, but how they’ve changed my parenting and my mindset — as a child development specialist and as a mom.     My Favorites: 👉 Skylight Calendar 👉 Book List     Follow Me: 👉 Visit my website http://www.ashleyventrice.com                  👉 YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@ashleyventriceco                                   👉 TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleyventriceco                                                👉 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/ashleyventriceco 👉 Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/ashleyventriceco   Join:                                                                                                            👉 Toddler Community on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1641FC2sDa/
