These three discs are a recording of a talk Jim and Charles Fay did for teachers and parents in the 1990s. The love and logic approach was new to me, so I learned about those essentials in the first disc, and have already used a little of the empathetic response approach with my child. The second disc gets a little into ADHD, but it's mostly about behavioral problems in general. It was surprisingly easy to listen to, but I still didn't find much relevant to my situation, which is having a child who is inattentive and not much of a problem behaviorally. I didn't listen to the third disc.

This was an audiobook I listened to. I love pretty much anything from Love and Logic. The tips are great taking care of oneself and setting enforceable limits on children. Great resource.

Listened to this on 'Books on Tape'. Very entertaining lectures on how to improve the behavior of kids with ADHD. In fact, these ideas could be used for any child with conflict problems. Gives great methods to use for students that are off-task, argumentative, or have other behavior issues following the 'Love and Logic' ideals. A must read for any educator, and parents would do well to read this book as well.

Great book about how Love & Logic works for families with ADHD or ADD kids. If you've ever taken the classes, it's all there with MORE. All of Jim Fay's quirkiness is retained. If you've never taken the classes, after you've read it, you've taken a basic course with MORE. Also available as a CD. Read. Apply. Enjoy.

Great book for anyone struggling with ADHD behaviors. This helps to start to sort out between ADHD issues and behavior issues and how to discipline appropriately - but without losing your temper and keeping a good relationship with your child (and not feeling guilty in the long run!!)
