This website IS free, but DOES have books and videos to sell and has been HIGHLY reccomended by Mr. Carlisle: LoveandLogic.com . The founder of the company, Jim Faye, started as a classroom teacher and years later started seeing common threads concerning "good behavior" and "not so good behavior" and started trying to share this message about how to mold the child without breaking the spirit. We all wish we were perfect parents, but in reality, these folks DO NOT EXIST. However, we can strive to be the best we can be and constantly look for ways to improve.
