Crying Kid


Have you seen this face? I think we all have but how can we handle this situation so he will learn from it and it will be no sweat for you? Read on......




Greetings,


I am an independent facilitator of the Becoming a Love and Logic Parent curriculum. This parent training holds a 30-yr track record of success and is designed to help parents:

- Raise respectful and responsible kids.
- Create youth who resist society's pressures to experiment with drugs, alcholol,promiscuity and other dangerous behaviors.
- Understand how to support all parents' attempts to create a personally responsible population...instead of undermining such efforts.

I was a middle school teacher for 11 yrs and because I was teaching middle school, I needed a fool proof plan to approach discipline with my students.
During my search for an approach that would work within my demographic and personality type, I stumbled upon Love and Logic and was in love (no pun intended)! I couldn't wait to get to school to try out my new skill set and it made all the difference. I instantly saw the changes in my classroom enviornment and in my relationships with students. It made teaching fun and a breeze, the parents of my students appreciated it as well.
I now have a 16mos old son that I stay at home with, and I integrate Love and Logic into our daily routine. Bring on the terrible two's because I am ready for them!
I couldn't just keep all this wonderful knowledge to myself, so I decided to start a business going out and teaching people about this amazing technique.
I started by presenting to foster parents and mentors through Childhelp and I now go wherever I am needed. I wholeheartedly believe that this program is what we need to create healthy, strong relationships with kids and without it we are doing a disservice to our children.

MORE ON THE LOVE AND LOGIC APPROACH:


"I don't understand it. The techniques my parents used so effectively just don't seem to work with kids today." Does this statement sound familiar to you? A lot of parents today are wondering what to do with their kids and are frustrated because the old techniques just don't seem to get the job done.
Parents want to enjoy their kids, have fun with them, and enjoy a less stressful family life. But even if their kids are trouble-free right now, they fear what the coming teenage years will bring.
At no time in history have parents been more unsure of their parental role. Even the best are not all that sure about whether they are using the best techniques. They say that their kids don't appear to be much like the ones they knew in years past.
A lot of conflicting philosophies have been presented over the last 30 years. Many of these sound good, but don't seem to do the job of helping children become respectful, responsible, and a joy to be around.
Many ideas, offered with the best of intentions, center around making sure that kids are comfortable and feeling good about themselves in order to have a good self- concept. However, we have discovered that self-confidence is achieved through struggle and achievement, not through someone telling you that you are number one. Self-confidence is not developed when kids are robbed of the opportunity to discover that they can indeed solve their own problems with caring adult guidance.
There is, however, an approach to raising kids that provides loving support from parents while at the same time expecting kids to be respectful and responsible.
This program is known as Parenting with Love and Logic, a philosophy founded by Jim Fay and Foster W. Cline, M.D., and based on the experience of a combined total of over 75 years working with and raising kids.
Many parents want their kids to be well prepared for life, and they know this means kids will make mistakes and must be held accountable for those mistakes. But these parents often fail to hold the kids accountable for poor decisions because they are afraid the kids will see their parents as being mean. The result is they often excuse bad behavior, finding it easier to hold others, including themselves, accountable for their children's irresponsibility.
Jim Fay teaches us that we should "lock in our empathy, love, and understanding" prior to telling kids what the consequences of their actions will be. The parenting course Becoming a Love and Logic Parent teaches parents how to hold their kids accountable in this special way. This Love and Logic method causes the child to see their parent as the "good guy" and the child's poor decision as the "bad guy." When done on a regular basis, kids develop an internal voice that says, "I wonder how much pain I'm going to cause for myself with my next decision?" Kids who develop this internal voice become more capable of standing up to peer pressure.
What more could a parent want? Isn't that a great gift to give your child? Parent child relationships are enhanced, family life becomes less strained, and we have time to enjoy our kids instead of either feeling used by them or being transformed from parent to policeman.
