 Easing Power-Struggles with Young Children
Dear , There’s a period in almost every young child’s developmental life during which it seems like they resist just about everything we do. When it’s time to change their diaper they throw a fit and try to wiggle away. When meal time rolls around, they cry and refuse to eat their sandwich because it’s cut wrong. Etc. This stage usually subsides with time and the maturation of their wonderful little brain cells. But…in the meantime…what can we do to ease the battles? One powerful approach involves asking young kids lots and lots of questions…questions about anything. Yes, when they begin to throw their fits, look at them with an excited smile, and begin asking things like:
If asked in an excited, rapid-fire way…not pausing much for the child’s answer to each…these sorts of questions can get little ones thinking more about the answers than about the fit they are trying to throw. In fact, it’s not unusual for a small child to stop fighting and want to tell you all about something that excites them! For more fun tips on avoiding power-struggles with young children, read our book Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood. Thanks for reading!

 When to Discipline
Dear , I met a man on the airplane who passed on some great advice. He said that he memorized the following rhyme. It played in his head many times as he raised his family. He said that every time he forgot to apply this wisdom he was disappointed with how he handled a situation. Here it is:
One of the essential skills of Love and Logic® parents is to delay discipline long enough to cool down, think it over, seek advice if necessary, and deliver the consequence when both the adult and child are in the thinking mode. Hear examples of this technique on the audio CD, “Developing Character in Teens.” This presentation is all about raising kids so that they will have character when they become teens. It includes examples for children of all ages. Thanks for reading! The Love and Logic® Show ©2006 Jim Fay. All copyright infringement laws apply.

For the first time I need to find a "real" baby sitter for my 15 month old. I am a firm believer in parenting with love and logic rather than punishments and rewards, so sitters and I typically don't agree on discipline. What things should I be willing to compromise on and what things should I stick to my guns about?
Don't compromise. Stick to your guns.
I'm a babysitter to 4 kids (6.5, 6, and 4 year old twins) who are adopted or about to be adopted. My momboss is very much like you - non punitive, I think it's called.
Do interviews. Tell the sitter what's expected of her, what she can and cannot do within your walls, what she's to eat, if she's to use your computer or television, etc. Then outline your style of parenting and how you go about things. Tell her that she'll be expected to follow the rules you lay out. If she's going to have difficulty with that, thank her for her time and tell her she's not right for your family.
I say don't compromise because consistency is key. I don't agree with everything the lady I work for does - but I comply with her wishes. It clashes with my own parental style, but I do it when I'm working. When I'm at work, I'm Chelle the Sitter. At home, I'm Mommy. Your sitter will have to be able to do the same.
A love-based parenting paradigm that is takes into consideration the latest brain science to help parents understand and connect with children with trauma histories and difficult behaviors. This conscious parenting approach applies to all children, however, and all relationships. - created at http://animoto.com

nothing. if you are hiring and paying a babysitter to come into your home to watch your children then the babysitter NEEDS to follow your rules. That is what you are paying her for. You are the mother and you set the rules and thats all there is to it. Not to mention I firmly believe that changing the rules when it's convenient sets a bad example and makes it confusing for the child.
I am looking for objective evaluations of the "Love and Logic"
series by Foster W. Cline, MD, especially the title "Parenting with Love and Logic" (but "Parenting Teens with Love and Logic "would be OK too).
Also the the overall philosphy, psychology, effectiveness, etc. of the whole Love and Logic approach…overall..does this method work? and if so..is it grounded well in the social sciences? ).
Also, I would be interested in any subjective responses..(did it work? what do you think of the approach?)
Also, how does one gage how popular this is?
(Libraries owning books, books sold, Web site hits, mass media "appearances" and/or ?? ).
I realize I am putting the cart before the horse here.
Am going to research this through databases (that search for magazine & journal articles/book reviews)
Although I can only give one "best answer", I am offering
a "free answer" to anyone who replies (just click on my icon)
Let me know how I can clarify this!
Yes, I am asking a lot of questions.
I am not a parent, for one!
And when it comes to popular culture,
I know little about how popularity is "achieved", ranked, etc.
[Not discounting the "wisdom of the crowds" here!]
And also, know little about what consitutes good parenting from both theoretical/practical approaches.
Answers so far have been helpful!
(April 14th)
Thank you much!
I took the class when my daughter was 6 months old, at the time a lot of the subject matter did not apply to me. My daughter is now 18 months old and I have implemented some of the discipline techniques. I have also utilized the leave her until she's sweet . when she has a tantrum and time out do not work she is placed in her room until she is finished and can say sorry for her bad actions. as she gets older I will take a refresher course. I loved the knowledge I gained it was helpful for this first time mom
Dr. Foster Cline demonstrates how to talk with a child who is upset about being teased for excessive coughing caused by her medical condition (cystic fibrosis).

Has anyone here read/used this book with your toddler? Just curious to hear your thoughts - yay or nay?
Great book! I like that it is pro-physical discipline. Corporal punishment is the way to go. Trust me.
