The term Love and Logic comes from effective parenting centred in love. Love that is not permissive, love that doesn’t tolerate disrespect, but it is powerful enough to allow children make mistakes and permit them to live with the consequences of those mistakes. Most mistakes do have logical consequences. Those consequences, when accompanied by empathy, our compassionate understanding of the child’s disappointment and frustration are more likely to hit home with mind changing power.
Parenting with Love and Logic is not a foolproof system that works every time. No system can promise that. But it is a system that has a strong chance of working in most situations. Parents will find success using the love and logic attitude. Once the attitude is mastered, handling most problems becomes second nature, even when a particular problem has not been explored. The approach is more of an attitude that will allow our children to grow into maturity as they grow in years. It will teach them to think, to decide, and to live with their decisions. In short, it will teach them responsibility. If we can teach our children responsibility, we’ve accomplished a great portion of our parental task.
The Bible provides insight on many parental issues. Much of what it teaches is summarized beautifully in a familiar Old Testament proverb:
‘Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray.’ (Proverbs 22:6)
What greater gift can parents give their children, other than the opportunity for a joyful, productive and responsible adult life? We believe the principles of Parenting with love and logic will help achieve that result.
