Through working in a variety of
education settings, including inner-city and suburban schools, Jim Fay
saw the need to structure the classroom, the schools, and the home in a way
that would build positive relationships with children (with love and
logic). The structure would teach children responsibility and
self-discipline, while still giving kids the message that adults cared about
them.
"Some people are uncomfortable when I
bring up love in education" he says. "'This shouldn't be a popularity
contest,' they say. But I started out as a parent and a teacher with lots of
lecturing, threats, rewards, and punishments - and they didn't work."

Fay slowly developed the Love and
Logic philosophy, learning as he went and experimenting with different
techniques until he found a consistent, practical way to work with children.
"The Love and Logic philosophy teaches character. Character is built
out of a formula that involves three things: A child making a mistake, an
adult feeling empathy and compassion for the child, and the kid learning
from the consequences of his or her actions."
Jim Fay books include "Parenting With
Love and Logic" and "Love and Logic Magic for Early Childhood".
Fay is the parent of three children,
one of whom is a school psychologist and has joined The Love and Logic
Institute. Fay has served as a consultant to schools, parent and mental
health organizations, and the U.S. military.
