Parent Workshop

Parenting the Love and Logic Way

(6 Day Event) Jan 28, 2019 - Mar 11, 2019
Event Dates: Jan 28, 2019 | Feb 04, 2019 | Feb 11, 2019 | Feb 25, 2019 | Mar 04, 2019 | Mar 11, 2019

The Love and Logic approach to parenting is built around the science of crafting caring and respectful relationships. An authentic, loving connection between parents and their children is the root of a healthy, thriving relationship built on trust and understanding.

Sounds easy enough but never before in history have parents been faced with so many challenges! This approach provides a variety of simple and effective strategies for parenting children from birth to adulthood. Whether you’re embarking for the first time with your new baby or navigating the turbulent teens with your youngest, the strategies and techniques will help you create calm and loving solutions.

The “Love” in Love and Logic means that we love our kids so much that we are willing to set and enforce limits. This “Love” also means that we do so with sincere compassion and empathy.

The “Logic” in Love and Logic happens when we allow children to make decisions, 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.

The six-week program teaches a different subset of skills. Each of these skill subsets is taught through the following media: 

• Video presentations by Jim Fay and Charles Fay, Ph.D., discussing, modeling, and providing examples of each skill
• Readings
• Structured group exercises and discussions

This course has been designed to help participants learn skills for: 

1. Creating home environments that stimulate responsibility, resiliency, and academic achievement.
2. Preventing misbehavior.
3. Avoiding power struggles while setting limits.
4. Teaching character and responsibility through modeling and the application of logical consequences instead of punishment.
5. Teaching children healthy problem-solving skills.
6. Staying calm in stressful parenting situations. 
7. Helping children become prepared to resist drugs, alcohol, violence, and other dangerous behaviors.
