Summary: Indispensable! BUY THIS BOOK!
Comment: This has been the most valuable and useful book we've read - and we've read many, many parenting books thus far. Very compassionate approach to teaching and discipline for the young child. I totally disagree with the reviewer who said that this book is not for those seeking an attached relationship - Jim Fay specifically addresses the attached relationship a child needs to feel trust and confidence in the world. I have to wonder if we were reading the same book! And as for the reviewer who feels that this book offers nothing new from the original "Parenting With Love & Logic", I couldn't disagree more. I read the original a couple of times and was always left wanting for specific discussion and examples to address the young child...and I got it with this book! Worth every penny - apply these techniques accurately and consistently and you will be a much happier and more effective parent!

Summary: THE BOOK For Practical, Balanced Early Childhood Discipline
Comment: I teach Becoming a Love and Logic Parent classes. As a veteran elementary school teacher who is now in the field of counseling psychology, as well as the parent of a spirited two year old, I find the Love and Logic philosophy the most sound, practical parenting advice I've come across. This book in particular is superb. It is fun reading that can change your life as a parent. What I like about it best is the way that it is organized so that it is easy to flip through and get memorable and concise, ready for your fridge on an index card, main ideas. It is also a wonderful reference. This is THE book on discipline to have if you want a warm, loving relationship with your child that sets him/her on the path to responsibility and success, and at the same time makes your life a bit easier right away. I've purchased several copies for friends and family!

Summary: TRANSFORM TERRIBLE TWOS
Comment: Are you a parent of a child six years or younger? Do you find that Calgon can't take you quite far enough away from parenting woes? Have you shed tears over behavior exhibited by your angel-turned-hellion? If so, this book is for you.
Having personally shed tears over my two-year-old daughter's colorful displays of strong will, I picked up this book that I've had since before she was born. Being that she was such a wonderful baby, I naively figured we'd skate through the "terrible twos" and that they wouldn't be terrible at all. While I wouldn't globally say that from 18 months until now has been terrible, it's been more challenging.
That's where logic comes in. This book is particularly helpful to those of us who don't tend to operate logically but react emotionally. It offers practical steps that when employed as recommended really work. The authors say that it's never too late or too early to start putting into practice the techniques.
The book impresses the value of children experiencing the natural consequences of their actions (logic). Simultaneously, the authors encourage parents many times throughout the book to empathize with their children prior to disciplining (love). For example, Stella throws her food at lunch. Mom says, "That's so sad. Lunch is over now." Mom maintains her composure, puts an end to the behavior without lecturing and multiple warnings, and the child bears an immediate consequence for the behavior.
According to the authors, children love to make choices so give them plenty. These choices, however, should be ones that make you happy and don't bother "anyone else on the planet." For example, Dad asks, "Would you like milk or juice for lunch? Or would you like to go to bed now or in five minutes?" Whatever the child decides, having soda for lunch is not an option. Likewise, not going to bed is not an option.
The approach presented in the book may sound lightweight to some but actually is quite strict and gives children effective boundaries. The ultimate goal of using the Love and Logic techniques: raise responsible children that respect authority, have a positive self-concept, and who are able to make wise independent decisions now and throughout life.
When I started trying the "experiments" outlined in the book, I witnessed immediate results with our daughter. Being the type that needs things spelled out for me, the specific steps accompanied by numerous examples in the book helped me grasp the principles easily. The book has also helped me breathe easier. After feeling distraught and certain we were failing miserably as parents, I now feel renewed by a sense of joy and hope. Yes, the book has that much power.
The challenge now is to be quicker on my feet with good choices. My husband and I have said some of the most ridiculous things in an effort to give our daughter choices we'll be happy with. It's good comic relief for otherwise tense and frustrating moments.
Note: About halfway through the book, the authors offer a three-step suggestion for disciplining children three and younger (when reasoning is more difficult). Also, I have yet to do so, but it would probably be helpful to read the original Parenting With Love and Logic book as it explains the love and logic principles.
THANK YOU TO THE AUTHORS FOR WRITING THIS BOOK!! YOU'VE TRANSFORMED THE TERROR OF TODDLERHOOD. YOU'VE ALSO PROMPTED ME TO HAVE FUN AND LIGHTEN UP. IF MY DAUGHTER COULD TELL YOU HERSELF, SHE'D SAY THANK YOU FOR HELPING MOM NOT BE SO UPTIGHT.
