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.
Love and Logic is a philosophy founded by Jim Fay and Foster W.
Cline, M.D. It is based on the experience of a combined total of
over 75 years working with and raising kids. It provides simple
and practical techniques to help teachers and parents have less
stress and more fun while raising responsible kids. Love and
Logic offers many useful techniques that teachers and parents
can begin experimenting with immediately.
Here are some examples:
•
Locking–in sadness or empathy before delivering consequences
•
Setting limits with enforceable statements
•
Sharing control through lots of small choices
•
Building relationships with the One Sentence Intervention
•
Neutralizing arguing with the Brain Dead technique
•
The
Anticipatory Consequence
