*Parenting the Love & Logic Way*
Parenting the Love & Logic way is neither permissive nor punitive. Learn
how to discipline your children without losing your cool, and without
losing their love and respect. We’ll teach you how to help your children
develop personal responsibility, self-control and good decision making

you’ll nurture long-term relationships with your children and reinforce
their innate good natures.

After much study, the updated US Nutritional Guidelines have been
