Child psychologist here...
For Parenting:
I recommend the books by Dr. Gold. She has been well trained in the field of parenting and the psychology of children and families.
"The Power of Discord" https://www.claudiamgoldmd.com/the-power-of-discord/
"Keeping Your Child in Mind" https://www.claudiamgoldmd.com/the-power-of-discord/
A more technical book "The Developmental Science of Early Childhood" https://www.claudiamgoldmd.com/the-developmental-science-of-early-childhood/
Also, Dr. Fonagy's work on "mentalization" : https://psychoanalysis.org.uk/our-authors-and-theorists/peter-fonagy
And Dr. Bolwby's work on Attachment Theory : https://www.verywellmind.com/john-bowlby-biography-1907-1990-2795514
For Relationships:
I recommend the book "Hold Me Tight" by Dr. Johnson: https://drsuejohnson.com/books/
She has done great work in the field of adult relationships.
Also, I recommend the works of Dr. Gottman. A good book by him is "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work" : https://www.gottman.com/product/the-seven-principles-for-making-marriage-work/
All these authors above give great insight into the dynamics of the relational bond between our children and our loved ones. It is the bonds between us that carry the most salient energy for thriving as children and adults.
Last but not least, I highly recommend Mark Passio's work on Natural Law. As we can only thrive psychologically if we Truly know the difference between a right and wrong and then we need to teach it to our children. https://odysee.com/@woeih:e/Mark-Passio-Natural-Law-Seminar-Part-1-of-3-2013-10-19:c
