Parenting with Love and Logic
Goochland County offers the Love & Logic parent education program on an on-going basis throughout the community.  The program is designed as an interactive series of 4 sessions.

The workshop helps parents to provide a nurturing environment which encourages children to make healthy choices.  It is based on a win-win approach to parenting that teaches young people how to be responsible. The youth wins by learning how to effectively solve their own problems and by gaining confidence in their ability to make good choices.  The parent wins by learning how to establish healthy controls and set limits without getting into power struggles with their child.

The Love & Logic program is free.  Refreshments and a resource manual will be provided, in addition to fun, fellowship, and helpful information for parents of children of all ages.

Our Next Session:
6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
Tuesdays - October 16, 23, 30 & November 6, 2007
