Love & Logic® courses help parents and other adults who care for children to develop new facets in their relationships with children, including establishing healthy boundaries with their children while exploring new ways of understanding each child’s unique needs and behavior. Parents develop skills that help create a peaceful home environment, diminish stress and arguing, develop self-control and respectful behavior. Parents learn how to effectively encourage positive behavior and healthy development in their children of all ages, from toddler to adult.
