Jim Fay is the developer
of one of America's most sought-after programs of parenting,
positive discipline, and classroom management. He is the co-founder
of the Love and Logic philosophy. Love and Logic teaches a way
of working with children which puts parents and teachers back
in control, and teaches children to be responsible and prepared
for the real world.
Jim began his career as a teacher, and for 31 years served in public, private, and parochial schools. His classroom experience includes elementary grades 2 - 6, art, and high school music. Jim has also been a school principal and school administrator. For the past 20 years, he has served as an educational consultant and public speaker.
Jim's teaching experience in both inner-city and suburban schools led him to see a need to structure the educational environment in a way that would build positive relationships with students. This structure also needed to teach children responsibility and self-discipline, and at the same time keep teachers from being labeled as "mean." To meet this need, Jim devised the Love and Logic philosophy for use in both homes and classrooms.
Jim is the parent of three children, two of whom have joined him in his work at the Cline/Fay Institute, Inc. He serves as a consultant to schools, parent organizations, mental health organizations, and the U.S. military. Jim appears often on radio and TV talk shows where his delightful sense of humor and story telling style make him a sought-after guest. He’s been recently featured on Good Morning America and across the country on television through the Public Broadcasting Stations.
