I thought I might do a short review of a few of the Cd's offered by Love and Logic. You really can't go wrong with any of the material, and my favorite thing is that it's all funny-so it makes it really easy to listen. I put them on while I'm cleaning and get a whole heap of things done!
Right now I think the best buy is the Early Childhood Package, there's a lot contained in there. (check out prices and content on the website...I'll write more detailed reviews later)
My favorite CD is actually a book on 4 disc's so it's a little longer. It's called "From Innocence to Entitlement" written by Jim Fay. The content is by far the most balanced and logical from every angle. I enjoy the way it makes me think by stating research, history and application examples.
My favorite live CD I would have to say is the Energy Drain CD. It just covers so much...and most of it addresses the most common issues/practices that I see parents struggle with. The examples are super helpful and it helps in dealing with arguing, saying too much, energy drains...well basically everything.
I think I'll start doing posts as I listen to each individual CD and everyone can add their two bits in:)
Happy Listening!

Kim I have to say I've fallen off the wagon - - my lovely daughters were in a screaming match this morning before 7am, my 4-yr-old keeps giving me ultimatums "If you don't give me "X" I'm not going to love you anymore" etc..., and I can't seem to keep any kind of reward system in place. We've been doing timeouts, washing a bratty little mouth out with soap all the time... sigh... nothing seems to work. Can't get them to clean up after themselves, can't motivate them... I think I need to go through the whole program again! I'm useless!

You're certainly not useless!!! And don't be so hard on yourself! Parenting is not easy and breaking habits we've been raised with and the ones we've formed ourselves is NOT easy. My best recommendation is to stick with the free weekly e-mails and try and get a few good CD's to play for parenting pick-me-ups every week or so...Learning new habits that you'll use every minute of every day can't be done over night. Give yourself time and keep motivating yourself...you'll be fine!
