I checked this book out from the library and plan to read it after the book by Kenneth Bock. Though I have never been a fan of Foster Cline and don't believe his Love & Logic approach is a biblical parenting method, I plan to read with a discerning eye to see if there is any helpful information I can glean to help with Anna's ongoing medical issues.

Good advice, and examples of how to implement them. I was reminded of a lot of good parenting skills.

There really wasn't anything in this book that I found interesting or that I didn't already know, and I have never read these "love and logic" books before. It wasn't terrible, just ok.
