Parenting with Love and Logic: Teaching Children Responsibility by Foster Cline, Jim Fay
1.0
I’ve heard so much about this book. So many parents I know recommend “Love and Logic” and at the core, I do think the message is a good one: children should be given choices and logical consequences. But the “examples” in this book were ridiculous and I literally snorted out loud while reading some of them. I’ve never met a two year old in the world that says, “I’m cranky because I’m tired.” Be real!
Ok, I’ll admit, I skimmed the last half of this book. But that’s because it is divided into different situations, and I read the ones that may apply. There are some things in this book that I am not willing to accept, however. Repeating a grade because you didn’t do your school work is crossing the line. Calling a friend to take you to your room after misbehaving in the grocery store seems more like a reward than a punishment. If you take this book at its core, it has valuable lessons for parents. Just don’t even bother reading the examples.
