Discipline With Love and Logic
All the sessions have accompanying newsletters. These newsletters are available on University Elementary School's website at http://ww2.conejo.k12.ca.us/university/jslandl.html
LOVE:
It takes a great deal of love to...
Find the positives in our kids when
they act poorly.
Hug them before
we ask them about their homework.
Set limits
without anger, lectures, or threats.
Hold them
accountable for their poor decisions by providing empathy first and
consequences second.
LOGIC:
When we give this special kind of love, a wise type of logic grows in their
minds: "When I make poor decisions, it makes my life pretty sad. I wonder
how my next decision will affect me?"
"Discipline With Love and Logic" is based on love, which allows children to
grow through their mistakes, and logic, which allows them to live with the
consequences of their choices. Love and Logic is built on three simple
ideas.
1) Set limits through enforceable statements.
2) Give choices within limits.
3) Consequences are given without anger.
