Parenting

Love and Logic Parenting Group

Parenting can often times be a wonderful experience mixed with much heartache, frustration, and conflict. At New Horizons Counseling Center we offer a “Love and Logic” Parenting Group that is designed to provide parents with tools to parent in a manner that promotes healthier relationships with their children and address behavior problems in a constructive manner that enhances the child’s ability to take responsibility for solving problems, make responsible choices, and live with the consequences of their choices. The “Love and Logic” Parenting Group meets for a total of 5 weeks, one night per week for two hours. It is designed to address parenting of children 17 and under. “Love and Logic” is a philosophy of raising and teaching children which allows adults to be happier, empowered, and more skilled in their interactions with children. Love allows children to go through their mistakes. Logic allows children to live with the consequences of their choices. Love and Logic is a way of working with children that puts parents and teachers back in control, teaches children to be responsible, and prepares young people to live in the real world, with its many choices and consequences.
