I think different parents have different goals, so probably the best is to read a bunch of books and pick out the ones you like.

Some suggestions:

I’d like to add: Raising Our Children, Raising Ourselves — reduce your effort by working with nature and not against it. Teach respect, self-respect by modeling them. Let your child learn who they are by giving them age appropriate meaningful choices. Create conditions for them to learn self discipline by following their interests and projects.
All great suggestions.

I'd also like to add Janet Lansbury [1] as a great resource

I also want to add the resources from https://www.handinhandparenting.org/. The techniques mentioned like Special Time and staylistening have helped a lot with my child.
Good! Thanks. I'll add it to the repo I just created to document all this stuff. Appreciated!
