Love and Logicisms , Wise Words About
Kids
by Jim and Charles Fay
Wise parents aren't afraid of their
kids getting mad at them. They
understand
that children can hate what their
parents do--
while still loving their parents very
much.
Wise parents also teach their kids
that it is OK to be mad but not OK to
hurt others with words or actions.

Love and Logic Stories
Don't Spoil Them Rotten!
Tips for Raising Kids Who Love You
More Than Your Money
Throughout my new book,
Parenting Kids To Become the People
Employers Really Want and America
Desperately Needs!,
I provide a variety of tips for
helping kids become responsible
adults who succeed in the
competitive workforce of tomorrow.
Here are just a few examples:
Remember that struggle builds
self-esteem.
Requiring our kids to earn some of
the things they want is one of the
greatest gifts we can give them.
Set limits by saying "yes" instead
of "no."
Saying, "Yes, you may have those
sneakers if you pay for half of
them" is far more effective than, "I
am not buying those for you! Do you
think that money grows on trees?"
Show them that arguing and
manipulation don't work.
Experiment with calmly repeating, "I
love you too much to argue"
regardless of what they say. They'll
be madder in the short-term yet
happier in the long-term.
Expect them to do chores without
being paid.
Experiment with saying, "I'll be
happy to ______________ when your
chores are done."
Let them see you say "no" to
yourself.
When our kids see us resisting the
urge to buy everything we want, they
are far more likely to develop
humility and responsibility.
After learning about Love and Logic,
one couple commented, "When we were
kids, nobody in our community had
designer clothes, sports cars, or
cell phones. It was a lot easier to
be a kid and to be a parent. Your
book gave us the courage to do what
we already knew was right. Now our
kids have the most old-fashioned
parents on the block!"
Thanks for reading!
