Parenting with Love & Logic

In book club we rather talk about the book we chose and usually talk about kids, food, sex, and other things. During one of our parenting discussions someone mentioned the book Parenting with Love & Logic by Foster Cline and Jim Fay. Several of the moms had read it and said they really loved the message behind it. It is supposed to teach good parenting skills that rely on conversations and logical thinking rather than yelling and threats or spanking. So many parents use yelling and fear as a way to get a message across, and I admit that I am guilty of it at times, especially my middle child. I would love to learn how to be a mom who feel more in control of the situation without physically or emotionally controlling my children. A friend loaned this to me a few weeks ago and I'm excited to finally start reading it.
