WHAT IS LOVE AND LOGIC® PARENTING?
Love and Logic® is a philosophy developed by Jim Fay and Foster Cline, M.D. It’s a philosophy of raising and teaching children which allows adults to be happier, empowered, and more skilled in their interactions with children. The technique uses equal parts of empathy with consequences to provide optimum learning from mistakes. This helps to raise children who are self-confident, motivated, and able to solve their own problem when they meet life’s challenges. According to the Love and Logic® Institute, “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 parenting back in control by handing over control you don’t need. It teaches children to be responsible by creating opportunities to increase thinking, problem solving, and the ability to make better decisions.
