5.0 out of 5 stars
An invaluable resource but only if you want to find a stress free way to raise responsible, safe kids., August 18, 2006
This review is from: More Ideas About Parenting with Less Stress (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.

Great book!, December 1, 2006
This review is from: More Ideas About Parenting with Less Stress (Paperback)
No clue what B. Breaux is on about...talk about misleading! A: they didn't review this book, B: among other things, Love & Logic has no connection to Focus on the Family (aside from both being based in CO one in Golden, the other in Colorado Springs), and C: neither Love & Logic nor Focus on the Family are anything close to being "extremist cults"...both are Christian based, yes...extremist or cult, no.
On to actually reviewing the book!
I have both this and the other "Parenting with Less Stress" books, as well as "Love & Logic Magic for Early Childhood", and while for my own personal style some of the ideas and examples presented are more harsh than I would utilize, the concepts underlying them are solid and work amazingly well.
There was a time I wondered if I was going to be able to get through the twos and threes, and thanks to the Love & Logic concepts, not only did we survive them....we enjoyed them!
Find the Love & Logic book geared for your needs (less stress, for early childhood, for teens, etc)...you can't go wrong!

Purchasing, September 5, 2010
This review is from: More Ideas About Parenting with Less Stress (Paperback)
Excellent book and was expediate in shipping. Thiese books were highly recomended and I can understand why. This really works! Buying from Amazon is a lot cheaper than purchasing from Love & Logic book store.
