Love & Logic: Join a village of other parents who strive to parent their children with love while developing responsibility and good decision making.

• We show adults how to discipline kids without losing their love and respect.

• We focus on helping children develop personal responsibility, self-control and good decision making skills.

• Unlike some approaches we don’t use complicated reward or punishment systems only focused on short-term compliance.

• Instead, we focus on nurturing long-term relationships and reinforcing good character.

From loveandlogic.com

We will meet on Wednesday evenings while students enjoy discipleship night activities. There are 6 sessions, starting Aug. 26th, but we may need multiple weeks per session so the exact end date is not firm. Each session takes about 60 minutes; parents can grab a bite to eat during class so they end the same time as the kids. This group will be lead by Sara Oswald. Feel free to contact Sara (643-5324) or Rev. Alexis (319-430-0700) for more info.
