We'll see. Not very helpful for targetting exceptional children... or parents. June 22, 2009
What Blue Dot? (Florida)
I bought this book because I liked the ideas behind it. I found it easy to read and fairly easy to comprehend. I found it to be less heavy on the guilt than other books and it didn't insult my brain. I would have liked to see more examples of the kinds of logical consequences they would suggest, since that's rather the most difficult part. They have more guides that are age-specific or for particular problems, so maybe some of those will be more helpful.
I'll have to keep looking for anything that addresses providing natural consequences for children who have trouble understanding consequences and parents with the same difficulty. How do I create consequences when I can't always forsee them myself? How do I exhibit motivation for my children to mirror when I have none? They have a book for ADHD kids, maybe it will have something about parents of the same. Actually, my biggest concern with the book is in how it fails to be flexible on the subject of "rescuing" children who have very real problems. You know, sometimes the teacher is actually out to get your kid. Sometimes your kid really CAN'T remember to bring that form to school. I've lived it, and I still managed to not end up a failure.
In any case, I wish that how I was raised had looked a little more like this, but I don't know if it actually would have worked for me. We'll see if it actually works when I have children.

I read this book after reading the wonderful How to Talk So Your Kids Will Listen, and How to Listen So Your Kids Will Talk.
Love and Logic could not be any less loving or logical. The premise of giving your kids meaningful choices seems sensible enough. However, the book began to set off red flags for me as soon as it outlines its bizarre "uh-oh" song.
Particularly strange was the suggestion to lock your child in her room (because she made a "choice" to have herself locked in).
Where is the empathy for the child? It seems to me that any child treated in this manner would grow to resent and hate the parent for dictating to her that she had "chosen" to be withdrawn from the loving contact of the family. I found the inane "choices" offered to the child in the book's examples to be completely counter to the entire goal of giving choice in the first place. A child only learns independence by being given meaningful choices, not by being told he can choose to go to his room walking by himself or being carried.
I will throw my copy in the trash. Please read Unconditional Parenting or How to Listen instead. I fear that a child raised according to this book will feel lifelong anger and resentment. This book's creepy and bizarre methods will probably be perceived by most children as parenting with hate and arbitrariness.
A previous reviewer suggested a google search: ""Foster Cline and Rage Reduction Therapy."
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE read about Foster Cline's "Attachment Therapy." Just from a cursory google search I was appalled, sickened, and disgusted. This "therapy" seems absolutely abusive. I am disturbed that such horrendous abusive of children exists in the name of therapy. To the 125 5 star reviewers of this book: once you understand Foster Cline's professional background and work, please reconsider following the methods outlined in this book.
 Love and Logic is the best parenting book around May 29, 2009
W. Benedetti
I am a 58 yr old retired elem and preschool teacher, Love and Logic books and products and classes are absolutely excellent for both parents and educator. In my MANY years of dealing with children, I have found by far and away, Love and Logic is an excellent source,with real life examples, none of that fancy foo foo parenting advice that doesn't work. This helps one see the logic of a child and how to talk to them so they will behave and enjoy life. I can't speak highly enough of Love and Logic, I wish all parents would use it for the joy it might bring to their lives.
great book May 29, 2009
