Love and Logic Institute was founded in 1977 by two professionals that were concerned with the struggles of teachers and parents dealing with challenging behaviors from the children in their lives. Jim Fay was an educator and Foster Cline, M.D. was a child psychiatrist. After much research, and their own personal experiences, they developed the Love and Logic approach.
Love and Logic is a resource that provides parents and educators with powerful tools that help them raise strong, independent, and motivated children. You will spend less time on discipline when you implement these tools in your preschool classroom.
WHAT THEY FOUND
Through their research Fay and Cline found that children do best when they have parents and educators in their lives that provide the following.
- Love, compassion, and empathy
- Consistent limits and accountability
- The ability to learn through small mistakes
- The ability to solve their own problems
The Love and Logic approach is based on these principles and through all of their webinars you will learn how to put these principles into practice.
