However, this year I had a free packet of seeds so thought I might as well grow them and in just over a month, I now have a bumper crop.

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.

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.
