I am pleased to announce that we have begun an on-going open ended parent support group that will be offered at minimal once a month beginning in October 2007

 .  The meeting will be structured for parent support and sharing of feelings and thoughts.  I will provide facilitation, offer resources, and suggestions on behalf of the school.    Additionally a professional expert will be in attendance at some of the meetings to field questions and concerns as well as present as a future resource for your child and/or our students. 

DATE AND TIME OF MEETINGS IS ANNOUNCED IN THE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER.

LOVE AND LOGIC PARENTING WORKSHOP

FALL 2007 

 LOVE AND LOGIC PARENTING WORKSHOP

What is Love and Logic?     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 and teachers back in control, teaches children to be responsible, and prepares young people to live in the real world, with its many choices and consequences.

 

Who can benefit from Love and Logic?    Almost everyone can benefit from the Love and Logic approach. The Love and Logic products especially help parents and teachers enjoy working with children through easy-to-use techniques. The Love and Logic approach helps children develop and grow in a healthy way, provides them with confidence and dignity, and teaches them how to become more responsible. The possibilities are limitless.

 

How is Love and Logic different from other approaches?    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 adults to grasp simple approaches instead of learning difficult counseling procedures.

 

The Love and Logic Parent Sessions unlock the secrets of successful parenting. Participants learn the specific "how-to's" of successful parenting, not just theoretical concepts. Sessions are facilitated by St. Andrew staff members. This comprehensive training program provides:

·         Instructional videocassettes featuring humorous and thought-provoking instruction with master teachers Jim Fay, Charles Fay, PhD, and Foster W. Cline, M.D.

·         Parent Workbooks for use in class as well as at home to help practice new techniques learned.

·         Website available with additional suggestions free online and other resources to order (videocassettes, audiocassettes and books): www.loveandlogic.com

·         Connections to other parents who have completed the course—good for encouragement, support, ideas, and help with strategic planning!

 

All school families are being asked to take this parenting course sometime before their child enters Grade 3. Since the L&L philosophy and approach are used at school, it is essential that parents understand and cooperate with this approach. The benefits to the child when home and school are using the same approach are significant. (School families get a 50% discount and the time spent in the Love and Logic sessions can be counted as parent service hours—2 hours per session!)
