More resources...
EWTN's library has a family life section that I frequently go through. There are some wonderful articles there, not all pertaining to parenting and your focus, but some would be. Some of these might be nice to link because they're free and easily read.
Article written by Father Chad Ripperger, FSSP
This is the text from an article written by Father Ripperger that discusses the relationship between parental roles and leadership within the family. Parental Roles and Leadership
Mp3 audio sermons by Father Ripperger relating to this topic:
As per the request of the website administrator at Sensus Traditionis, I am not linking the following mp3 files directly here. They can be found by going directly to the site.
** Raising Children
** Teaching Modesty
** Common Pitfalls of Catholic Parents

I had those in my pile, but I was waffling if I was overloading on OOP resources.
But one more: Parent and Child by Leo Trese

This was what I did with my aunt and I many, many years ago in my professional life--scanned into digital texts, before the internet had picture and .html files. Many of these books and booklets were from my personal library.
I included some of these at the Hobby Farm discussion.
I'm not sure what happened to the other one, but I love From Crib to Stroller. The next one is "From Stroller to School".

One thing I like about older resources is that they seem more direct about what to do and not to do.
This is really an incredible compilation!

Family Life Institute is a goldmine, and the books are wonderful.

Bridget mentioned that she likes the older stuff because they seem more direct about what to do and not to do.
I really like old resources as well for this reason. No fence sitting!
This is the "catholic tract" section of Fatima Family Apostolate. Many of them can be listened to online as well. Good "old school" style advice. No happy clappy mentality here either 
Various Family Articles
And here is the Audio Sancto link for good sermons on all manner of topics. If you look to the right, they are broken down into categories. Marriage and family, The Sacraments ect are relevant topics for what you are putting together.

This is a great resource --- I can see so many uses for this list -- and can see how it would just keep growing....Several non-homeschooling people have asked me about books and articles that we read -- including the pastor of our parish, who is really working on helping parents raise Catholic children (and would likely pass out such a list to parents in their First Day of School packet where he shares his philosophy of a Catholic education).
I've given some of these books and cd's for gifts (RBMedia - Willows Academy talks as both baby gifts (especially when it's a 3rd+ child) and thank you gifts to our dentist, a youth leader, and a volunteer coach. Guys will sometimes put a cd in their car, while a book sits.
Thanks everyone for help in furthering efforts to raise good Catholic families.

I'm adding this resource.
Families of Character
It's a program, so not a written resource though it has resources that go with the program. It's not Catholic either, as it is general parenting education, but it was founded by a Catholic couple and pretty much their whole BOD is Catholic. They are mostly local here (and I know a couple of them) and the director has been in touch with me trying to let our local homeschool network know about it.
Since Suzanne already recommended James Stenson, I thought it was interesting that it was developed from something they heard from Stenson.
Quote:
| His lecture poignantly reflected a thought that stuck with us: “Teach your children virtues and they will be successful no matter what they do.” |
|
|
The program is based around that principal.
I'm interested to see more of the program. He is going to do a presentation for our group later this spring.

That looks really good, Mary.
Another book I wanted to add:
Catholic Mother's Helper by a few IHM sisters. There are a few editions, from 1940s, to 1966.

I think so, too. And I know that they based it on virtues as taught by Aguinas - though since it's being promoted as a secular program won't be emphasizing that.

I couldn't find ordering information. Is it still in the works? Do share when you find out more info.

Three more OOP titles more for being a good wife, less emphasis on mother:
Humorous:
Sixpence in Her Shoe by Phyllis McGinley
Holy Housewifery by Ethel Marbach (who is now Ethel Pochocki)
More serious:
Guide for the Christian Homemaker by Therese Mueller, but it's spelled Theresa in this edition.
