About
the Becoming a Love and Logic Workshop
(6-Week Workshop)
The
Becoming a Love and Logic Parent workshop provides
practical tools and techniques that can change
the way your family operates and make parenting
more fun. Parenting has changed a lot in the last
generation, and if you're finding yourself frustrated
with the job, this workshop can help.
Barry
teaches the workshop in six, two-hour sessions
(12 hours-total instruction time) and it covers
all the aspects of parenting, from the early toddler
years through the time when kids go out on their
own. By that time, if we've done our job as parents,
they're ready to face the world. It's a quick
ride (though sometimes it doesn't feel that way),
and anything we can learn along the way to be
more effective is a good thing.
During
the workshop participants will:
- See
video tapes of Jim Fay, Dr. Foster Cline and
Dr. Charles Fay telling stories (these always
provide some laughs)
- Listen
to Barry talk Love and Logic, (there'll be a
few laughs here too)
- Do
written exercises in the participant workbook
- Ask
questions about specific parenting issues
- Problem
solve with other class members
- Do
a little role-playing
- Have
more fun than you're supposed to have in a parenting
workshop
The
curriculum for the six sessions breaks down like
this:
Week
One:
Introductions,
course objectives, the four steps to responsibility,
values.
Week
Two:
Sharing control, opportunities for thinking
and decision-making, bedtime, grandparents.
Week
Three:
Control battles, sharing control with choices,
parent/child patterns.
Week
Four:
Parenting styles (helicopters, drill sergeants
and consultants), guiding children to own and
solve their own problems, Love and Logic one-liners
to avoid control battles.
Week
Five:
Setting limits, fighting words vs. thinking
words, enforceable statements, the value of
chores (and getting them done)
Week
Six:
Consequences vs. punishment, designing consequences
that are logical, the importance of empathy,
wrap it up and take it home
There
is plenty of time for questions and answers, and
many participants feel that this is the most educational
part of the workshop. At least it's nice to know
that we're not the only ones experiencing a certain
situation at home.
