The love & Logic way


I honestly can't say enough GOOD THINGS about this book. My sister & I got this book as a gift from my mom, she works with all these cute girls at work that told her about this book, the minute we started reading it, our outlook on parenting had changed, and when we tried it on our kids it worked within one day. It's about teaching children responsiblity and to let them be the one to make their own choices with out realizing you are still in contorl.
Kaden has always been a sweet boy, but he has always had a hard time with anger and being told what to do. When we started this with kaden, I really started to cry because he become a completley different boy, he has learned how to deal with his anger, and feels so big because we are always giving him choices and he gets to be the one that chooses.
One night Kaden did't want to say his prayers, I said kaden; do you want to make Heavenly Father sad or happy tonight? He said ummm sad, I said ok kaden maybe you can make him happy tomorrow. He then said no mom I would like to make him happy! It really is all about letting them be the ones to make the choice, I have also found that I have become more calm, the more calm I am the better the outcome. This book teaches you to not pick battles that you won't win with your child. It teaches you how to win without them really knowing you won. anyways,this is something I just wanted to share with all of you. I would love to hear if this has worked for you like it has for us. Hope you like it as much as we have. UNITL NEXT
