5.0 out of 5 stars Funny easy read to help raise responsible, safe kids without all the power struggles., 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 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to relate to., August 12, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Helicopters, Drill Sergeants and Consultants: Parenting Styles and the Messages They Send (Audio Cassette)

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.

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.
