Parenting with Love and Logic: Teaching Children Responsibility by Foster Cline, Jim Fay

3.0

I think this book is a very helpful parenting tool, but I gave it 3 stars for a couple of reasons. The first reason being selfish, it just wasn't a pleasure read. I did not enjoy reading it, but I pushed through because I knew the information would be helpful. Another reason is that I found the language used in the book a little patronizing. I don't enjoy being patronized, and I'm sure my kids don't either so I plan to refrain from that language in any of my love and logic implementing. The last reason is that it is definitely geared toward a particular type of parent. Middle to upper class parents with resources to blow are most likely to find the love and logic techniques very effective. I would recommend it, it has many helpful tips. But I also approach it with the attitude of "take the good, leave the rest."
