 I LOVE This Book February 8, 2008
I love what this book brings to the table. It adds wonderful tools to my parenting tool box.
The proof is in the pudding January 17, 2008

My 23 year old daughter (raised on Love and Logic) recently told me that she has been asked by several adults about my secrets for child-rearing. They apparently like the kind of people my 4 kids are becoming and want to know what I've done. I first told her to tell them the jury is still out on whether the 4 have turned out well (the youngest is 12) and then they should be told to read Parenting With Love and Logic. I haven't actually read the book in years (so I am not able to comment on the 2006 edition) but in the early '90s, it was my ready reference. Jim Fay made a powerful point about teaching kids to listen to the voice in their head because when they are teenagers, they sure don't want to listen to parents so if the voice in their head isn't loud enough, they will listen to others. Now that 3 of my kids have navigated at least some of the teen years, I am constantly amazed at the good choices they make. It all started with "Do you want the blue sippy cup or the green one?". I started out with audio tapes (The Life Saver Kit) in 1987 and 20 years later I'm still enforcing natural consequences. This week my 12 year old had to call a cab and pay the $12 fare with Christmas gift money because she'd missed the school bus one too many times. It's hard to be the mean mom but as Cline/Fay write, the cost of a lesson gets more expensive, the older kids get. And the joy of launching a happy, considerate, self-sufficient adult child into the real world is worth it!
great for 1st time parents January 15, 2008
This was a baby gift for my daughter in law. She loved it & it's great for first time parents.
Awesome!!! January 3, 2008
This is a great book. Someone taught this as a class at our church, but having the book is great. It obviously goes into more detail that you can cover in a 45 minute class over a few weeks. Our daughters are 3 and 1 and it's working great. Be sure to read the section on "basic German Shepherd". We thought Love and Logic meant never spanking, but that section gives a few times when you should. Other than those rare occasions, however, we don't have to spank, yell, or threaten, the way most of us were raised.
GET THIS BOOK!!!
p.s. If you plan on using this method of discipline, buy a copy of "Grandparenting With Love and Logic" too and give it to the grandparents, or everything will probably be out the window every time you visit them.
Giving children choices and empowering them January 2, 2008
This is a must for parents who need help in managing children and their behavior. It illustrates how giving children a choice and allowing them to make a decision is the most effective way in dealing with them and teaching responsibility. I also recommend Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Childif you child is cranky. For older children, I recommend Win-Win Partnerships: Be on the Leading Edge with Synergistic Coachin I have used the process discussed in this book with my kids, wife, and employees. It offers a process on how to coach for change in behavior and ensure accountability. It is also research based. While it is a book geared towards business, it applies to families very well. Three must have books.
