ONE NIGHT ONLY! STRESS-FREE TIPS FOR GETTING KIDS TO DO THEIR HOMEWORK

Join Madelyn Jansma on Tuesday, March 13, 2012, from 7:00-9:00pm in the Cascade Ridge Elementary Library for an evening dedicated to bringing sanity back to your family. We will be looking at the Love and Logic® ”One Year Plan: Parent’s Guide for Helping Children Succeed in School©” as the jumping-off point for the presentation. After a brief 10-minute overview of Love and Logic® principles, we will discuss techniques to raise kids who are internally motivated to do their best in school. You can end homework battles, take good care of yourself, promote independence, and raise lifelong learners.

There is a small fee of $15 per couple (spouses, parent and nanny, parent and grandparent) for this great seminar. Adults only please. Visit www.healthyhappyfamilies.net to register.

 

“BECOMING A LOVE AND LOGIC PARENT” 7 Week Series
Mondays, March 26—May 21

Did you know that even great parents take “Becoming a Love and Logic Parent”? If you’re looking for tips on some of the following, consider signing up for the series:

  • Turn a strong-willed child into a leader with a strong sense of right and wrong
  • Guide a child into becoming completely responsible for homework: no need for reminding her of due dates, and no more dawdling to get started on tonight’s assignments
  • Become a “consultant” parent who is thought of as wise, even by a teenager
  • Handle sibling rivalry without breaking a sweat
  • Form a great relationship with your child while taking good care of yourself
  • Keep your child safe behind the wheel: prepare now for a teen driver
  • Smooth the transition into middle school
  • Turn a low achiever or late-developing child into a life-long, enthusiastic learner
  • Get chores done without nagging or reminders

Most “Becoming a Love and Logic Parent” facilitators find that the parents who enjoy their kids the most will take the series twice while they’re raising their kids. Each new phase is an opportunity to apply the same principles in a slightly different way! Becoming a Love and Logic Parent is a seven session course, with two-hour sessions (including an intermission) each containing 30 minutes of video clips by the founders of Love and Logic, parenting exercises in the workbook, supplemental printed information, small-group discussion and whole-group interaction. Expect lots of laughs as discussion centers around raising kids who are “respectful, responsible, and fun to be with.” Each week, you’ll leave with tips and tricks to bring the fun back into parenting, all while building a loving and healthy relationship with your child.
