What is Love and Logic^® for Parents?

"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.

AUTISM or other Neurodevelopmental Disorder?

If you are the parent of a child with autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders, you face a number of daily challenges that at times may feel frustrating and overwhelming. 

Fathers.com says, "We believe every child needs a dad they can count on. The research is clear: children thrive when they have an involved father—someone who loves them, knows them, guides them, and helps them achieve their destiny. At the National Center for Fathering, we inspire and equip men to be the involved fathers, grandfathers and father figures their children need."

A Parent’s Program for Managing Challenging Behaviors in Children

Are you struggling with a child who is disrespectful, obnoxious, or even abusive toward you? Are you frustrated and exhausted from arguing constantly? Do you find yourself "walking on eggshells" around your child, trying to avoid saying something that will set him or her off? Have you tried talking, screaming, punishing, pleading, and negotiating—but your child still walks all over you?

All children behave badly from time to time. But when defiance, hostility and refusal to comply are ongoing, the behavior affects the entire family and requires a more serious intervention. Fortunately, we've seen that when parents use the right tools, they can change their child’s problem behavior—quickly and dramatically.
