Re: Love & Logic
It can be helpful for parents who struggle to set boundaries and are too permissive. It can be used harshly by parents who tend to be punitive. It does not promote spanking. It is most helpful for parenting tweens/teens (i.e., older children who are able to understand cause-effect relationships for their actions). When I read it a number of years ago I got a few helpful ideas from it. It takes a 'toolbox' approach IIRC.
Basically, it can be used either punitively or in a way that promotes personal responsibility by the child, it all depends on how the parent sets the tone of relationship in the home.
