Love and Logic
Love and Logic is the parenting course that I have just started taking for the third time. I love it and the things they teach seem so powerful. I just wish I was perfect at doing them.
The course that I just started is run by a couple from Firth Idaho and is offered through our IDVA school. It is a live online classroom. Tonight was our first meeting out of six. They even have a blog that they keep. http://schooleffectivelyathome.blogspot.com/
I feel that my parenting is in serious need. I also want what is best for my children and so therefore I will keep studying and trying to improve myself.
Tonight what I am most excited that I learned (or relearned) is Recovery. A twist on time-out. Recovery is not a punishment but a chance to 'pull ones self together'. Heaven knows how bad I need to send myself to recovery often. And I think that it is good for kids to see that we have frustrations. It's okay that Mom struggles. We all do.
Another thing I was glad to be reminded of is how Love and Logic teaches ways to be the good person in my kids eyes. I can still parent them and be on their team.
I hope and pray that I will be able to apply all that I learn or at least one thing. Just as long as I make an improvement of some kind.
