I took the class and did the workbook. It is amazing. I would highly recommend this to parents of kids of any age. This can help you raise a toddler or set limits with teens or boundaries with a grown child. It's a definitely winner. ( )

Joseph Michelli, Ph.D., author, psychologist, lecturer and college professor, said of this work, "Jim and Charles Fay, Ph.D. offer a clear, concise, warm and effective approach for parenting young children. This book is a must read for all parents who want to maintain their sanity while raising healthy, well-adjusted children."

I thought this was a simple excellent book. It was also quite amusing at times. Now, we'll just have to see how it works in practice. ( )

The key difference between this book and 1-2-3 Magic is that while the latter uses a three-warning system, this book uses at most one: “set the limit once and follow through.” I think it will work better for me personally, because I tend to start counting before I’ve thought through what I will do if the kid doesn’t stop—then sometimes I just trail off. This particular volume is very obviously focused on the particular needs of young children (while many discipline-type books have a lot of overly wordy techniques) and has a special page about children younger than three that makes a sort of middle ground between “time-outs,” which may not work with such young children, and just doing nothing.

Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood gives great practical advice with examples for successfully parenting even the most unruly child. It does take effort and time, but the advice and tips given in the book do payoff with real results in the end. This is a good book for parents who are struggling with their children and needs some plain old good advice. ( )
