Love & Logic Magic for Early Childhood: Practical Parenting from Birth to Six Years Book

This book has a lot of great ideas. I think the technique is pretty good, and they write it in an easy-to-use way. However, it was so obnoxious to read that I could barely stomach the first half of the book. After that I got over the annoyance and just gleaned the good techniques. The Fays seem to be high on their own theory. They even make comments such as "Is it possible that there would be no such thing as the United States of America if King George had known about Love and Logic?" Barf! The other thing this book is missing is more focus on encouraging and reinforcing positive behavior. Almost all of it was directed toward disciplining negative behavior, which of course is the more unpleasant (and generally tricky) part of child rearing. I'm glad I read it. I do think I can benefit from many of the techniques, but like I said, the Fays were a huge turn off.
