Resources

These are some of my favorite parenting resources & some of "Dr. Melissa's favorites" as well--books, websites, podcasts that I've come back to again & again. Many of them have helped me in my own parenting and/or I've frequently recommended them to parents either during coaching/speaking or in my pediatric practice.  

*I am constantly adding to this page so come back often! And let me know if there is something you would like to see!
