Love & Logic

What is Love and Logic?

Clearchoices provides workshops that teach the unique Love and Logic approach to raising children which puts teachers and parents in control, teaches children to be responsible and prepares them for the real world. Workshops are offered periodically throughout the year and taught by Judy Girard, MA, LMFT. The presentation is done in a fun environment while coaching you to be a love and logic parent or teacher.

Each class lasts seven weeks for two hours on a weeknight evening. Childcare is NOT provided and the classes are for adults only. Call today to get information on how your church, school, group or civic organization can host a Love and Logic workshop or to obtain the dates of an upcoming workshop near you.

What is the Love and Logic Process© ?

  1. Shared control: Gain control by giving away the control you don't need.
  2. Shared thinking and decision-making: Provide opportunities for the child to do the greatest amount of thinking and decision-making.
  3. Equal shares of empathy with consequences: An absence of anger causes a child to think and learn from his/her mistakes.
  4. Maintain the child's self-concept: Increased self-concept leads to improved behavior and improved achievement.

The Rules of Love and Logic:

Adults take care of themselves by providing limits in a loving way.

  • Adults avoid anger, threats, warnings or lectures.
  • Adults use enforceable statements.
  • Children are offered choices within limits.
  • Limits are maintained with compassion, understanding and empathy.

Childhood misbehavior is treated as an opportunity for gaining wisdom.

  • In a loving way, the adult holds the child accountable for solving his/her problems in a way that does not make a problem for others.
  • Children are offered choices with limits.
  • Adults use enforceable statements.
  • Adults provide delayed/extended consequences.
  • The adult's empathy is "locked in" before consequences are delivered.
