The Parent's Complete Guide to Ayurveda is full of information that is easy to read and digest. Lots of practical tips that will help parents be pro-active about their child's mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. I will definitely refer back to this one as needed.

There are surprisingly very few books out there on the topic of Ayurveda specifically pertaining to children. I really appreciated this book for that reason and it was very thoughtfully written.
