I LOVE Love and Logic! I am the mother of four and grandma to nine and have been using these tools and principles for over 15 years! Giving choices is one of the most effective skills of Love and Logic (as you have all attested to)! One of the ways I use choices with challenging or resistant kids is to offer two choices that I am ok with (red cup or blue cup) and quickly move to the next choice (I call it stacking) for example: (This would be a role play I would teach in my Love and Logic Classes)
Parent: Do you want a red cup or a blue cup?
Child: Um….I don’t know….
Parent: Looks like red… Now, do you want milk or juice?
This quick offering of a new choice helps keep the brain in the “thinking mode” and not “fighting mode” (using the pre-frontal cortex instead of brain stem).
Child: Maybe milk….or
Parent: Great…now do you want a straw or no straw?
Child: Straw!
Parent: So…sweetheart, are there any other choices you want to make about your drink? (with a smile and a laugh)
Kids love to see that their parents are willing to set and enforce limits as long as they can do it in a loving, connect way!

I have been using Love and Logic Parenting Techniques since 2006. Now I teach Love and Logic classes in the Phoenix area of Arizona. I absolutely love the techniques and get a kick out of seeing parents improve their relationship with kids by becoming Love and Logic parents.

I love offering structured choices. I have also decided to choose my battles, and let my children control the little things that are meaningful to them, and don’t cause safety issues (or rudeness. lol) Great article!
