Review
Cline and Fay know teenagers well, and the book is engaging. The parenting pearls in the last third of the book are worth the price of purchase. Read it carefully; the book is short on "bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord" and long on "do not exasperate your children." -- Daniel R. Vander Ark, Christian Home & School Magazine, March/April 1993

Most Helpful Customer Reviews 53 of 54 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars A breakthrough book for this harried mom, February 25, 2002 By A Customer This review is from: Parenting Teens With Love & Logic: Preparing Adolescents for Responsible Adulthood (Hardcover) My son turned 13. He became a different person. I became a different parent. I didn't understand what was happening, and then we reached a crisis point. This book caused me to completely reposition my parenting philosophy. It's allowed me to focus more on the love of my child, than on the fear of how he will "turn out." The idea of being a "consultative parent" is an absolute breakthrough for me, and one that is working beautifully after only one week of practicing it. I am thrilled with the results and the possibilities. The authors are to be applauded with a standing ovation. 42 of 43 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars This book has changed my thinking and my life..., January 11, 1999 By  [e-mail] (Napa, California) - See all my reviews This review is from: Parenting Teens With Love & Logic: Preparing Adolescents for Responsible Adulthood (Hardcover) I couldn't put this book down for days, it had so much information that I needed to help change my thinking. Right away I used the ideas and boy did things change around the house. I am a single parent and just didn't know how to get around the constant problems of reasoning with a strong willed child. I recommend this book to all parents even if you think you are doing all the right things. You will find great help and your life will be easier. 38 of 39 people found the following review helpful: 5.0 out of 5 stars The best book for parents raising teens, February 21, 2001 By  sjez "sjez" (Utah USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Parenting Teens With Love & Logic: Preparing Adolescents for Responsible Adulthood (Hardcover) Whether you have troubled teens, average teens, or great teens, this book provides a plethora of answers for parents with questions about being the best parent they can be. The love and logic program teaches parents how to love their child by taking care of themselves and by allowing their teen to suffer real world consequences. The book is half instruction and half ideas and suggestions for resolving common teen problems such as parties, friends, drugs, sex, backtalking, etc. I'm going to make it part of my permanent library.
