We have some of the Love and Logic on CD, which I like, but have still had some trouble putting it to use. The biggest thing I noticed in regards to disciplining, is "consistency", and I know all parents would agree. When you find something that works for you (and it may not right away), stick to it and work together as a team (I mean, as the parents). When the disciplining is done, my children KNOW they are loved because I cared enough about them to stop what I'm doing and take care of it. I'm so excited for you guys! I know that baby is definitely going to feel loved no matter what you do! I love all the comments!

I have both and you can borrow them. Well, Erin is borrowing the Tedd Tripp book right now, so you'll have to wait until she's done with it. Hebrews 12 describes discipline as loving. Bringing up my children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but it is also one of the most important things.

Remember that God, too, disciplines us even though he loves us unconditionally. Actions have consequences (‘rewards’ and ‘punishments’) in the real world.

You should. Simply put, use love and logic in your parenting. Let kids have natural consequences and have lots of experience making decisions. Let your kid fail and she'll learn a ton, let the mistakes happen when they are little and the consequence isn't huge. i.e. It's better to learn the lesson of responsibility when you are little and lose your trike than when you are 16 and wreck your car. p.s.
