• Parenting with Love and Logic® Curriculum
  • The Love and Logic approach to parenting is built around the science of caring and respectful relationships. An authentic, loving connection between parents and their children forms the foundation of good
    behavior and healthy decision-making.
  • The “Love” in Love and Logic means that we love our kids so much that we are willing to set and enforce limits. This “Love” also means that we do so with sincere compassion and empathy.
  • The “Logic” in Love and Logic happens when we allow children to make decisions, affordable mistakes and experience the natural or logical consequences. When we balance this with sincere empathy, they develop the following logic:
  • Our children learn that the quality of their lives depends on the quality of their choices.

Coaches support clients by providing encouragement, feedback, and practical suggestions to address specific challenges as well as holding them accountable for following through on their goals.

To be ready for coaching, clients must be able to admit that they have challenges, want to make changes, willing to spend the time necessary to create strategies for improving their behavior and willing to adhere to those strategies to the best of their ability.

Before the coaching process begins, the client and the coach will have an in-depth initial session, typically lasting one to 1 ½ hours, that addresses issues such as client needs, expectations of the client and of the coach, informational paperwork, fees and payments (coaching services are often not covered by traditional health insurance) and length of time for the coaching contract. Change does not happen overnight, so it is highly recommended that the coaching contract reflect a reasonable time commitment in order to achieve set goals, though this is not mandatory for services.  Most coaching contracts are six weeks to a full semester, depending on the client's needs.

Regular weekly meetings and check-ins are an essential part of the coaching process. Meetings generally last 30-50 minutes. These sessions can be conducted in person, online, by phone, or by text message (check-ins only) depending on the client’s preference.

At the end of the specified coaching contract period, an evaluation session is held to determine objectively if progress has been made and to decide upon the client’s next step. Clients may choose to continue with the same meeting schedule, readjust it or terminate coaching services.

Fees are available upon request and are subject to change.
