I am a Love and Logic/Nancy Thomas parent. Or, I should say, I strive to be one. This type of parenting requires more thought, attention, creativity, and truly unconditional love than more typical parenting, but it works. It helps a lot in removing the anger in you in response to their defiant behaviors.
My kids have a lot of issues--attachment and FAS being the chief ones, also LOTS of grief and loss issues--but nevertheless, in most groups of kids, mine are the best-behaved. Now, when they blow it, they can really blow it. But I have seen a lot of change in their behavior and I attribute this to having a parenting plan. For me L&L and NT work well.
