What parents have said about the Love and Logic Parenting classes:
***This class offers parents tools and suggestions for bringing more peace and love into families. It also provides the space to think and brainstorm on how to implement the tools at home. Finally, I learned a lot from the discussions with other parents. Angie G.
***Love and Logic gives parents very practical tools to connect with their children and bring balance to the relationship. Parents can feel comfortable using the L & L techniques right away because they are effective and easy to remember. It's true that you might find yourself looking forward to the next time your child misbehaves! A parent of a 2 and 5 year old
***Myrna Lapres is very knowledgeable and encouraging. The class was a confidence builder and confirmed things that I was already doing as well as gave me good options for current challenges. It was also a great conversation starter with my husband who wasn't able to attend the class. It gave us ways to be on the same page with our son. Thank you! Prescilla S.
***I got my power back as a parent!! It was also good to hear what other parents were going through--that it wasn't only me. Ericka H.
***The Love and Logic teachings are tried and true. This class offers parents a safe environment to learn the ideas and find ways to use them. Myrna is patient, supportive and I didn't feel any judgement about my challenges and mistakes. The techniques have been immediately applicable . I started using them from the first class and it's lead to less frustration. Barbara M.
***I attended a seminar in the late '90's that Jim Fay did at our local high school. I received a lot of help that day along with a catalog that provided a list of some great comebacks to use when I was at a loss for words. I cut it out and taped it to the cabinet by my kitchen sink so I was ready to go when needed. One of my favorites was, and still is, "I love you too much to argue." My oldest daughter loved verbal combat and that line was my saving grace. There were a few times where she would say, "No, I want to argue with you." I would respond by repeating the mantra Jim had given me.
One time, she was misbehaving in a store and I said, "I love you too much to argue." She replied very loudly, "You are so lame! You can't even come up with your own comebacks." She had me dead on. I didn't know how to respond to that and I knew others were watching how this was going to go down. Jim Fay had not told me how to respond but I could hear his voice in my head saying, "Calmly repeat your mantra." So I did, over and over again. The situation ended there and was discussed calmly later, at home.
My daughter is now 22-years-old and finishing her last semester of college. We were discussing the shopping incident and how funny it is now. She told me, "That stuff really works!" She explained how she and her roommates were discussing a heating bill and it was not going anywhere good. She knew she needed to end it because it was late at night and her two roommates had been drinking. She had not been drinking and things were starting to get heated. She said to them, "I care about our relationship too much to argue about it now." The argument was diffused and was calmly settled the next day.
I laughed until I cried when she told me this story because I can honestly say, she was my most combative child and I knew how she felt about me using Jim's words all those years. She vowed when she was younger she would never be so "lame" to say that. Now she is using Jim Fay's one-liners with positive results and has the ability to admit it to me.
Your books have made my life so much better and my relationship with my three daughters much smoother. Thank you for all you do at Love and Logic and keep up the great work! Rose H., Grand Rapids, MI
