Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Parenting consultants Jim Fay and Foster Cline, M.D., narrate this brief audio program which explores struggles for control and power between parents and their children. Describing the "Love and Logic" technique they developed, Fay and Cline relate how it can be implemented. We hear them discuss various parenting scenarios, exchanging information with confidence and humor. In a casual style they share accounts of life with children. Their conversation is cordial, drawing us in as confidants. They teach us how to give away control and gain even more. Ardently convincing, there is something in this for every parent. B.J.L.

2.0 out of 5 stars More of the same thing, December 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Avoiding Power Struggles with Kids (Audio Cassette)

While I am a new believer in the love and logic approach to parenting, I feel this audio tape is just a "greatest hits" of the Parenting with Love and Logic book. I need more support, not reruns of stories I've already heard. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't make this purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars An indespensible resource of you want to stop the arguing and raise responsible kids., August 18, 2006

This review is from: Avoiding Power Struggles with Kids (Audio Cassette)

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 unrelated to these books. He also wasn't reviewing this book - I guess some people will actually mislead people to try and get their voice heard. If click on "see my other reviews" under his name you will see that he has reviewed every book in the Love and Logic series with this rhetoric that is based on complete ignorance. Charles Fay and Foster Cline (founders of Love and Logic) are from Evergreen Colorado - not Colorado Springs and have nothing to do with the whole "family first" thing. There is no affiliation whatsoever. Again, not sure what the other reviewer was talking about - but it is a shame that he may turn people away from a resource that is the most effective tool I have come across to raise children who are responsible, able to make choices effectively, have great self-esteem, and to avoid all the arguments and power struggles that come with parenting.
