Guiding Children To Solve Their Own Problems: Love and Logic Solution
Love and Logic Step One: Empathy. How sad. I bet that hurts. Love and Logic Step Two: Send the Power Message. What do you think youre going to do? Love and Logic Step Three: Offer choices. Would you like to hear what other kids have tried? At this point, offer a variety of choices that range from bad to good. Its usually best to start out with the poor choices. Each time a choice is offered, go on to step four, forcing the youngster to state the consequence in his/her own words. This means that you will be going back and forth between Love and Logic steps three and four. Love and Logic Step Four: Have the child state the consequences. And how will that work? Love and Logic Step Five: Give permission for the child to either solve the problem or not solve the problem. Good luck. I hope it works out. Have no fear. If the child is fortunate enough to make a poor choice, he/she may have a double learning lesson.
