Bravo!

Love and Logic in action:

Dad Sells 'Guitar Hero III' on eBay After Catching Son Smoking Pot

This is the essence of Love and Logic. Punishment must be tangible, must be a real loss to the child, and must be instructive. I applaud this man's principled stand; I just hope he backs up the punishment with lots of empathy, as L&L teaches. That will really drive home the point of love, since L&L doesn't work without it. To all you parents perhaps struggling with discipline, especially with a tween or a teen, I highly recommend Love and Logic, so check it out at the link above. It's a BIG change in mindset, but it makes sense, it doesn't involve any physical punishment (if you object to that), and it actually gets results.

It also helps when you take away an item like this that also gets you over $9,000 when you sell it on eBay. Merry Christmas!!
