Love and Logic Parenting in a Nut Shell

What do you do when your four year old’s tantrums are suddenly running the household? Work a little Love and Logic (Foster and Cline, 2006) into your life. We started using the method of parenting described in this book a few months ago now, when my son James’ 4 year old tantrums were rapidly spiraling out of control. At the time, I recognized that his behaviors were likely a response to the arrival of his baby sister; toward that end, we put some important strategies in place to address his feelings and help him feel more loved (see my State of the Household: Part 3 post for more details). But we desperately needed a method for helping resolve some of the daily eruptions that were quickly weaving their way into the fabric of our lives. Enter Love and Logic. Without a doubt, this method of parenting has had a huge impact on our little family. My husband Andy and I are finally on the same page of the same parenting book (a feat that is not easily accomplished). James’ extreme tantrums are all but gone. Love and Logic strategies are simple, yet can have a profound impact. With that in mind, here are the steps we took to bring more peace to our house.

I recently took my niece and friend out to the movies and it cost us almost 26.00 for the tickets, and the concession stand was more. Sadly we only got popcorn and drinks because I smuggled in the cheaper candy from the drug store.
