Not Home Alone

This podcast highlights some of the basic concepts of the Love & Logic Parenting technique in a casual and sometimes humorous way. It’s like the hosts are in your living room having a relaxed conversation— not a bad choice for a sticky and often sobering subject. Some episodes welcome an experienced mom who has actually employed the method for many years— quite a refreshing, empathetic voice in a popular parenting series that is written, reviewed, and promoted overwhelmingly by men. I recommend listening as a summary of the original book— it’s provocative and useful material. I also appreciated the pastoral perspective on parenting. I may never feel warm and fuzzy about the “uh-oh song,” but I now have more respect for the method behind it!
