Becoming a Love and Logic Parent
Love and Logic is a philosophy of raising and teaching children which allows adults to be happier,
empowered, and more skilled in the interactions with children. Love allows children to grow through their
mistakes. Logic allows children to live with the consequences of their choices. Love and Logic is a way
of working with children that puts parents back in control, teaches children to be responsible, and
prepares young people to live in the real world, with its many choices and consequences.
Love and Logic offers adults an alternative way to communicate with children. The Love and Logic
techniques produce immediate results because the techniques are simple, practical, and easy to learn. The
concepts behind Love and Logic place a heavy emphasis on respect and dignity for children and at the
same time allows parents to grasp simple approaches instead of learning difficult counseling procedures.
Still Waters Counseling offers a seven session Becoming a Love and logic Parent course. This course teaches parents ways to avoid power struggles with their children by giving choices, setting reasonable
limits, and applying consequences without anger. Limits are maintained with compassion,
understanding or empathy. Childhood misbehavior is treated as an opportunity for gaining wisdom.
In the arena of parenting it is possible to feel more confident, have more fun, and be more relaxed at the
end of the day.
It is not giving children more that spoils them; it is giving them more to avoid confrontation John Gray, “Children are from Heaven."
