5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring, January 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: I've Got What it Takes! (Paperback)

I found this short book to be quite inspiring, right from the powerful introduction. Although it tries to simplify parenting down to a few ideas, it has made me want to give my children more "I'm Capable" messages, and has given me a few tools with which to do this. I would recommend this quick read to anyone who deals with children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indespensible resource if you want to raise responsible, safe kids without any struggle!, August 18, 2006

This review is from: I've Got What it Takes! (Paperback)

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.
