Love and Logic

I keep meaning to write a post about the Love and Logic parenting class I took. It has truly changed the way Nate and I parent. We took the class from a girl in our neighborhood who is a certified Love and Logic instructor. She is amazing! She is so patient and is an excellent teacher. Before we started the class, we were kind of unsure if we were taking it too soon. Claire was only 16 months at the time. I cannot tell you how glad we are that we did. Now we have a parenting style we are both comfortable with, just in time for when we need to start giving Claire real boundaries. I learned so much about having empathy for Claire and giving choices. I've also learned to give away some of the control...at least when its on small decisions! :) I definitely feel more confident as a parent.

If you can't tell, I loved this class. If you live in this area, I highly recommend taking it! Click here to see Angie's Love and Logic blog.

I've heard a lot of good things about the love and logic parenting method. I would love to attend a class. I'll have to see if anything like that is offered around here. Thanks for reminding me!

Totally agree - LOVE Love and Logic! I used it in my 3rd grade classroom, now with my kids and in my preschool! Cameron has taught me well that it won't help you avoid all the problems, but it sure does help! :)
