Book Recommendation - Parenting With Love and Logic

Parenting with Love and Logic by Charles Fay and Foster Cline introduces a balanced approach to parenting that emphasizes empathy, responsibility, and natural consequences. The book encourages parents to avoid power struggles by giving children choices within set limits, allowing them to learn from their own decisions. By following Love and Logic principles, parents can help children develop independence, problem-solving skills, and resilience.

Each chapter includes practical scenarios and tips on handling common issues, such as discipline, chores, and school-related struggles.
