WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I'd love to know whether anyone in our parenting group has used "Parenting With Love and Logic" and/or "Parenting Teens With Love and Logic," both by Cline and Fay, particularly their approach to dealing with kids' anger. They focus a great deal on consistency, on parents' learning how to modulate their own responses to kids' behavior, and on always linking behavior and consequences (like the "real world," they point out. My daughter in law recently took a course in her local school which used their materials and says she found it helpful for clarifying her thinking. But since nobody in our group has mentioned them, I wonder what you feel about the validity and usefulness of this approach.
