In his work with families, Jim Fay often meets parents who are like mechanics trying to tune up a car engine--without the proper tools. Jim supplies the proper tools to tune up your relationship with your children. In Tickets To Success Jim helps you use the basic Love and Logic principles to recharge your family life, and he takes you on a light-hearted trip toward a crucial destination--responsible kids who own and solve their own problems. He's a delightful tour guide.
Great little book given to me by our pediatrician. Very easy read that lays out the method of Love and Logic. The whole philosophy is very simple. It equips you with the tools to teach your children to learn responsibility and make decisions for themselves which in turn builds confidence and independence. I truly believe these principles help prepare your children for the real world where they won’t have mommy and daddy to fix every problem.
“Love allows children to grow through their mistakes. Logic allows them to live with the consequences of their choices”
Again... Like its co-partner, HELICOPTER, DRILL SEARGANTS and CONSULTANTS, this is a must read! Every child needs a ticket to success and that begins with successful communication.
This book is geared toward parents with school-age kids. It had some good ideas, but all the information could have been easily contained on a one-page handout, so that was weird.
