I just read Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood. I would recommend the book to any parent who is still doing any sort of parenting. While many of the methods wouldn’t really work on a teenager (I think they have a book for teens anyways) the basic principles are true and still apply. There is one part that reminds me that God is the perfect parent. He lets us struggle because that is how we learn. There are two different kinds of parents that it talks about, the helicopter parent who hovers over their children and make sure they don’t get hurt or fail or think…and then there is the dictator who tells their children everything they should do and think down to the minute also not teaching them to think. Little struggles while they are young teach great lessons…most of all it teaches our kids to learn, to think for themselves and figure things out.
