Parenting with Love and Logic: Teaching Children Responsibility by Jim Fay, Foster Cline
3.0
Overall, I really like the principles, but, like all parenting books, I took it with a grain of salt. I understand that not every parenting method works all the time, with all children, and that it's a mistake to believe there are any guarantees.
That said, I was able to glean a lot from the principles and philosophy of this book. Applying them to everyday situations is harder than I expected, but I am seeing some positive results even as I give up some control. There were also some methods and principles I disagree with, and I did so freely. This book isn't the Bible, after all!
I think really finally helping me to understand that my children have total free will, which they will exercise with or without me is the greatest thing this book did for me. It gave me a fresh new motivation and perspective, and that is always a good thing.
I definitely recommend it if you're in a parenting rut. I really appreciated it.
