Book Overview

I have two addictions- kids and psychology. It's pretty easy to figure out why I grew addicted to kids, but with psychology it's less obvious. I became addicted to psychology because I grew up learning how to use power, and I finally got tired of fighting with everybody. In place of power, I'm suggesting some practical and usable tools for parents and teachers that are adapted from formal psychological concepts. I offer them as suggestions. You may chew on all of them, and you don't have to swallow a single one of them whole. I'm not trying to make you feel guilty. I'm not trying to tell you what you're doing wrong with your children. I simply want to share some psychological techniques that raised the quality of my life dramatically. I also want to do this because, for me, sharing these ideas is fun This description may be from another edition of this product.

A must have for EVERY parent

By Thriftbooks.com User, November 8, 2006

This is a mini preview of a parenting method that is amazing. Love and Logic WORKS!! It does not matter the age of the child or behavior of the child...ADHD, to sweet angel. I have used this parenting method on my 10 month old and it works. My sister-in-law introduced me to Love & Logic before I was even a parent to start preparing. I read this book over and over again, along with the many other resources Love & Logic...

Funny easy read to help raise responsible, safe kids without all the power struggles.

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 18, 2006

Not sure what the other reader was talking about. I am an agnostic so I am pretty aware of that kind of thing. I was also a teacher. Not only does Love and Logic work in the classroom but it does amazing things with my kids. I have 2 toddlers and I think the Love and Logic books and videos are an indespensible resource. It seems to me that the previous reviewer was just looking for a forum to rant about something totally...

An interesting take on discipline styles

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 11, 2006

This is not a "how to" book but it is a very interesting look at three different parenting styles and the messages they send. This is a great introduction to the whole "Love and Logic" approach to discipline which we have tried with our very challenging son. We have had good success with it and it lets my husband and I be more consistent in discipline and approach even when we aren't able to discuss it with each other first...

Great Ideas

By Thriftbooks.com User, December 13, 2002

This is a wonderful, and short version of the Love and Logic approach. This little book is great to reread when you need to refocus on things. I would highly recommend that anyone that is around children read this.

Easy to relate to.

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 13, 2002

I was able to read this short book in one sitting. It kept my attention and used examples that were straight from my life. It gave me suggestions that I will be able to apply to my situation. Some of the scenarios were comical, but isn't life? I would highly recommend this book to anyone with children of all ages.
