Learn effective communication strategies, how to recognize opportunities to connect, how to avoid communication roadblocks, and how to identify and respond to different communication styles.

It’s not uncommon to observe a lack of empathy in interactions between your child and others. And yet we all know that teaching children how to be kind, compassionate and empathetic provides them with the fundamental building blocks for emotional health and lifelong success. As Brene Brown so eloquently states, “Empathy is communicating that incredibly healing message of ‘You’re not alone’. Nurturing your child’s emotional intelligence starts by understanding your own EQ skills and modeling them with your children. Learn tips and techniques for increasing empathy and connection in your family.

Whether you’re embarking for the first time with your new baby or navigating the turbulent teens with your youngest, our strategies and techniques will help you create calm and loving solutions.

The “Love” in Love and Logic means that we love our kids so much that we are willing to set and enforce limits. This “Love” also means that we do so with sincere compassion and empathy. The “Logic” in Love and Logic happens when we allow children to make decisions, affordable mistakes and experience the natural or logical consequences. When we balance this with sincere empathy, they develop the following logic:

The quality of my life depends on the quality of my choices.

With the loving yet powerful tools of Love and Logic, we can help our children learn to make good choices and experience happy lives while maintaining their love and respect.
