"Love and Logic"?
On a list I'm on, folks are discussing the book "Love and Logic." I've never
heard of it, but I'm gathering that there is some controversy regarding it. I'm not looking for a review, really, just for information: I'd like to know what general principles the book espouses, as much out of curiousity as anything else. A quick look at Amazon suggests that part of the book's philosophy revolves around "natural consequences" and that at some point in the book's publishing history, at least, use of corporal punishment was not ruled out -- but that's all I've been able to gather. Thanks for any information. beeswing |

Thanks for any information. beeswing I've read Teaching With Love and Logic, and use parts of it. The focus is on the child taking responsibility for his/her own behavior and seeing where it leads. A lot of dialoging. The biggest problem with it is that it assumes children are logical. And they aren't. For some problems, it works well-when the child is old enough to delay consequences, think about the situation, and come up with a plan of action. It works better when the child didn't deliberately try to misbehave, and just messed up. Overall, as a teacher, I prefer 123 Magic. |
