Becoming a Love and Logic Parent
This group allows parents to gain effective, practical tools that reduce the stress of parenting and build the foundation for lasting, loving relationships between parents and children. The Love and Logic philosophy allows children to make choices in safe situations and learn from the consequences of their choices. It helps parents/caregivers to reinforce positive relationships with their kids without resorting to anger, threats, or lectures.
