To great success Communities In Schools of Peninsula completed the first in a planned series of five-week parenting classes. “Love and Logic” teaches simple, practical techniques for parents to raise responsible children. The well-attended classes are facilitated by trained counselors and use a nationally accredited curriculum and include free dinner and child care.
The classes give parents tools to communicated clearly, provide direction for their families and make sound choices in caring for their children. And the curriculum is based on giving kids choices – that most interactions involve a choice. “For example,” says one parent, “I say ‘You are welcome to stay at the dinner table if you can speak calmly,’ or ‘You may take a shower tonight or get up 15 minutes early to take it in the morning.’ And I am OK with whatever he chooses.”
Communities In Schools of Peninsula will offer the “Love and Logic” classes on a regular basis based on community interest. If you would like to attend the next series please contact Laurel Shultz at laurelcisp@centurytel.net for more information.
