Raising Teens with Love and Logic (Room 155)
Teacher: Ellen Fox
Parents need help to teach their teens how to make decisions responsibly--and do so without going crazy or damaging the relationship. “Love and Logic” parenting method advocates raising responsible children through practice. "Helicopter" parents hover around their children while "drill sergeant" parents give orders to theirs, they claim. Neither of these styles permits children to learn how to make choices and learn from the consequences. The result is that as early as adolescence these children too often make bad decisions. In the context of a healthy, loving relationship, "Love and Logic" parents teach their children responsibility and the logic of life by solving their own problems, providing skills for coping in the real world. Covering a wide range of real-life issues teens face--including divorce, ADD, addiction, and sex--this class will give you the tools to help your teens find their identity and grow in maturity.
