And one that was already planned. Both my wife and I are educators (me formerly, she still active!) and we know how important it is for the kids, both the 2 and 4 legged ones, to know that we respect and love them through consistent and positive reinforcement. I'm a huge believer in the Love and Logic methods. I used them in my classroom with great success and hope I will find the theories as useful in the home!

Thanks for the great suggestion and well wishes!
