Less than two days until our Love and Logic session 1, which is this Friday at 9:30am!! Just forwarding this weekly Love and Logic parenting tip in order to get your wheels turning. Throughout the whole course, we will be learning how to model and teach emotional control by using it ourselves. It's a journey and we need knowledge + support to move forward.....just like our children, we are "under construction" as well.

Subject: Emotional Self-Control: The Goal of Love and Logic
Sent: Feb 13, 2013 1:25 PM
The primary goal of the Love and Logic approach is NOT to make kids behave. Rather, our primary objective is to help them learn how to make themselves behave…so that they aren't dependent upon rules, regulations, laws, or incarceration to control their behavior.
At our Annual Love and Logic Summer Conference, Dr. Bob Sornson will share a variety of proven strategies for helping young people learn essential emotional self-control skills. These include:
Delayed gratification Empathy and social responsiveness The ability to calm oneself when experiencing strong emotions Cause-effect thinking Don't risk missing Bob's marvelous presentation. Sign up for this special event today. In the meantime, begin experimenting with one of the most powerful teaching tools offered by the Love and Logic approach: Allow your children (or your students) to overhear you talking about how you apply self-control. Examples include:
I saw this new TV that I really wanted, but I said to myself, "No. My old one is just fine. I'll just be all stressed out about how to pay for it." The other day one of my friends said something that really made me mad. I kept having to remind myself, "Stay calm. If I say something nasty, I'll feel horrible later." I always have an easier time being nice to difficult people when I remember to put myself in their shoes. Remember: Children are typically more likely to learn when they overhear these things rather than being lectured.
Thanks for reading! See you this summer. Our goal is to help as many families as possible. If this is a benefit, forward it to a friend.
