Becoming a Love and Logic Parent

“Becoming a Love and Logic Parent” helps parents prepare children for real world

Milwaukee, Wis. – The Parenting Network announces its next series of “Becoming a Love and Logic Parent,” a  nationally recognized parenting program that helps moms and dads put the fun back into parenting. This six-week series is appropriate for parents and caregivers of toddlers to teens.

Parents are taught proven methods to reduce stress in the family and help children learn to be accountable for their actions. Love and Logic encourages parents to “lock in empathy, love and understanding” prior to telling kids what the consequences of their actions will be. These methods cause the child to see their poor decisions as the “bad guy” and the parent as the “good guy.” 

“By giving children the chance to make choices and by allowing them to make mistakes, they begin to learn that they are responsible and you, the parent, are a loving, caring authority figure who wants the best for them.” said Tom Weber, program director at The Parenting Network and trained Love and Logic facilitator. “The ideas in Love and Logic are simple and many parents remark at how quickly things change in a positive way within the family.”

This six-session class will be held on Tuesday from 6:30 to 8:15 p.m. beginning March 13 and running through April 17, 2012. Class meets at The Parenting Network, 7516 West Burleigh Street, Milwaukee. To register for “Becoming a Love and Logic Parent,” contact Tom Weber at The Parenting Network at tweber@theparentingnetwork.org or 414/671-5575. The cost for the class is $60 per individual or $85 per couple. Onsite childcare is available for an additional cost.
