The book uses examples to teach how to keep control over your kids and in the classroom when they misbehave. The methods avoid crushing a child's self esteem and is effective, two of the most important criteria for communication as a parent or teacher. I highly recommend Love and Logic for all phases of life. The reader can extend these practices beyond age 6. The book generalizes these principles to be used at all times. For training is listening and problem solving, the book is weak in these areas.

I bought this book to go along with the love and logic class I took and I got a lot out of it. I now use love and logic everyday with my kids. It seems to work great. I wouldn't just buy the book though. Take a class and/or get a CD/DVD or two so that you can hear how to implement the techniques. The wording and how you talk to the kids is KEY to making it a success!

I began putting this to use with my 2 year old the day I started reading it!What a life saver. I wish more schools would use Love and Logic!

This book has changed our home life considerably. We have three children under 5yrs and our house can be crazy at times. I started using the methods discribed in this book, a little at a time, and what a difference it makes. My daughter, who is 3, is a pleasure to be around (not the case a few weeks ago). My oldest, who was very moody usually, has been quite happy lately. And last but not least, my 2 year old is not quite as demanding and the whining has almost completely stopped. I would recommend this book to anyone with young children. It is a must read.

The L&L materials are tried and true. If you are interested in tools that actually do work (if you can be consistent, that is), L & L is just what you are looking for! Highly recommend!
