From the Inside Flap

The real world doesn't operate on punishment. It operates on consequences. Teens must never be allowed to think that the consequences of their poor decision will be "Mom and Dad will get angry." They should be thinking of the natural consequence of their actions. Whenever we lay something on a teenager that doesn't happen in the real world, it's a punishment and not a consequence." from Chapter 8, Ready, Set - Off into the Real World Parenting Teens with Love and Logic helps us stay connected to our children while we watch them grow strong and independent. It is a gift to all of us who want to enjoy the incredible process of watching our children become respectful, responsible, and resilient adults." --Bob Sornson, Ph.D., Author of Creating Classrooms Where Teachers Love to Teach and Students Love to Learn, coauthor of Meeting the Challenge and founder of the Early Learning Foundation Parenting Teens with Love and Logic empowers parents by providing them with the tools and skills to handle each mistake with respect and embrace it as a learning opportunity. This respectful attitude assists teenagers in becoming responsible adults while maintaining a positive healthy parent/teen relationship." --Gloria Sherman, M.A., LPC, Counselor Zemmer Jr. High, Lapeer, Michigan "Parenting Teens with Love and Logic provides parents with a wide variety of the necessary skills to set behavioral limits, encourage decision-making, and teach their teenagers the essential social skills to function in the adult world." --Paul Gasser MS/LMFT, Marriage and Family Therapist-Mayo/Franciscan Health Instructor-University of Wisconsin-Platteville "Society poses any number of challenges as teens struggle to acquire a sense of worth, understand the value of personal responsibility, and develop healthy relationships. I have worked with students and their parents for years, and Parenting Teens with Love and Logic has provided a consistent framework that well prepares adolescents for their imminent adulthood." --Dave Funk, parent and educator, Author of Love & Logic Solutions for Kids with Special Needs and coauthor of Teaching with Love and Logic

    As a developmental editor, this isn't a traditional "author page," but more about books I have assisted with in some way, shape, or form. Having had the privilege to work on some amazingly powerful messages and stories, I wanted to set up a page for friends to be able to find some of the projects I have had a hand in creating, just in case they were interested.

    I have been a freelance editor for more than a decade and a half now and have worked on over fifty different books. Listed below ares some of my favorites and most recent (and can talk about :-) ). If you have read any of them, I--and their authors--would be honored if you would add a review to their home page and let us know what you thought.

    Thank you for stopping by and checking these out!

    All the best,

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!
Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2013

Wish I'd had this when I started raising my kids...the one for children, anyway. This one has been a life saver, really helped us turn things around in a non-threatening, calm atmosphere. Took all the emotionally charged situations and reduced them to logical, make-sense discussions which enable the kids to do the thinking. I've mentioned it to friends who have grown kids and they say that THEY used it for their families & said it was a HUGE help!! Updated, make-sense, no-nonsense advise. You don't need to take weeks to read and study this, it's a quick read. The good thing about that is that my husband was willing to read it because it's not a bunch of phycho-babble or make-you-queezy gooshy talk about child-rearing. This is definitely a logical approach that will help the reader put their kids on the right path by putting parents on the right path first. 100% recommend.

Absolutely the BEST parenting book available today! It goes way beyond gaining incredible parenting skills...and truly helps you master having healthy relationships with ALL people including, kids, family members, co-workers, and even yourself. I highly recommend reading it several times, as each time you will gain more insight and hone your relationship skills.

I actually purchased several books for my staff to read to gain insights working with at-risk youth. And they too said it was the BEST book they had ever read on relationships, so much so, that most of them bought their own copy of this book. All in, this book makes parenting MORE FUN, helps eliminate parent-child manipulation, and teaches how to impart healthy responsibility at every age. In my opinion, EVERY adult should read this...the entire world would benefit.

4.0 out of 5 stars No More Yelling Matches in Our House!
Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2014

from the very first page, this book gives you valuable insight into how teens think and feel differently than parents, and why they act the way they do. It provides practical ways to head off arguments before they start, and how to encourage teens to think and act independently and responsibly. Within the first chapter, and putting those suggestions to the test, the tone of conversation with my 12 year old changed instantly. By the time I'd finished the book and been using the tips for a solid week, I was really amazed at how much better I was handling challenging situations.

There are three reasons why I dinged a star.
1) the way the dialogue examples are written, it plays off as kind of sarcastic and as if the teen is just going to go , "OK! Sure!" when you use the "one-liners". That's not real life and I feel the authors could have expounded more on how to say the phrases lovingly, as well as giving some examples where the teen attempted to escalate to an argument. All the hypothetical kids in this book are far too agreeable!

2) The conservative Christian slant. This is EXTREMELY valuable advice for parents of any or no religion, and the Bible references and such only serve to turn off parents who might otherwise greatly benefit from this book. Also, the chapter about sex and the authors' suggestion for parents of children who identify as gay, was a bit difficult to read. I say difficult because it goes on about how "this isn't the 'norm', and it goes against our faith, and blah blah blah." Minus one point. BUT...rather than being homophobic, the authors just left it as, "God says to love all people no matter what, and gay kids deserve our love as much as straight kids". Plus one point. It does lump homosexuality into the same chapter with some dangerous and immoral behaviors. Minus one point. So, there was some good and some bad in how the authors chose to address the issue of homosexuality. I feel that they tried too hard to be diplomatic, and it just came off as outdated and uneducated advice. Not offensive, per se, just not very intelligent.
3) One part of the book gave an example of parents kicking a 15 year old out of their home. They essentially gave her the choice of shaping up or living on the streets. I don't care what my kid has done or is doing, there is nothing on this earth that would make me suggest the streets as an option. If the behavior is THAT BAD, there are probably some bigger issues going on, so why not seek counseling or a group home, a mental health facility, or even jail if the behavior is threatening and illegal! At least in jail they are fed and sheltered and I won't be charged with criminal neglect and abandonment.

The main takeaways from this book are to start from a place of love and a nurturing relationship, if that's not there you need to build a relationship first before any kind of discipline can happen. I like that the authors stressed that you can't have authority or credibility as a parent if you don't have the trust and connection with your kid. Also, that you should always expect children to handle their own problems, make their own choices within the options that you provide, and allow them to feel the full weight of the consequences of their choices. If you can do those two things, and refuse to engage in a fight-repeating to the child that you love them too much to argue-you will have a good handle on the love and logic method.
