Love and Logic: September 9 – November 4

,

This fall we offer Love and Logic at 10 am on Sundays.  The classes start on September 9 and meet in the Parlor.

Love and Logic happens when we allow children to make decisions, make affordable mistakes and experience the natural or logical consequences.  When we balance this with sincere empathy, they develop the following logic: The quality of my life depends on the quality of my choices. 

But what do we do when our parenting button gets pushed?  How do we get teens to be respectful and help out around the house?  Is it possible for kids to solve their own problems?

These and many more questions are answered through the Love & Logic workshops.  The Love and Logic techniques really work and remind parents that parenting can be fun again.
