Limits can be set much more effectively when we’re not fighting with our kids. It has been clinically proven that kids who are thinking cannot fight us at the same time. Love and Logic parents make statements with enforceable thinking words, telling their kids: What we will allow — “Feel free to join us for your next meal as soon as the lawn is mowed.” What we will do — “I’ll be glad to read you a story as soon as you’ve finished your bath.” What we will provide — “You may eat what is served, or you may wait and see if the next meal appeals to you more.”
