PUT AN END TO ARGUING!

Let’s focus on… Avoiding un-winnable arguments and power struggles Avoiding un-winnable arguments and power struggles Preserving loving relationships with our kids Preserving loving relationships with our kids Teaching them to make good decisions about serious issues Teaching them to make good decisions about serious issues Taking care of ourselves by Taking care of ourselves by setting enforceable limits setting enforceable limits

Become a broken record, saying the same antidote for each new argument. Keep your voice soft. allow any frustration to be that of the child, not of you. Go BRAIN DEAD!

Things you might hear: “Dad would’ve brought my lunch that I left at home instead of making me eat school lunch!” “These projects are stupid! Why do I have to do so many?” “I want to go live with dad!” “You made me get a zero because I didn’t have my homework…I called you twice but you didn’t bring it to me!” “Why am I always the one who gets in trouble just because I’m the oldest?!” “You like her more than me!”

“I love you too much to argue.. “I love you too much to argue.. “I know.” “Thanks for sharing.” “I love you wherever you live.” “I argue at 6:00 AM on Saturdays.” Memorizing your favorite One-Liner!

Remember to repeat your One- Liner with empathy…rather than anger or sarcasm. Remember to repeat your One- Liner with empathy…rather than anger or sarcasm.

These are statements that DON’T WORK: “I know how you feel.” “I know how you feel.” “I know just what you mean.” “I know just what you mean.” “I understand.” “I understand.”

Love and Logic will not work if it’s done with sarcasm, anger, or for the purpose of getting even with the kids. That’s because there’s nothing more important than the relationship we have with them.

The Love and Logic approach is intended to leave the children believing that their parents are the most powerful and loving people in their lives.

Kids who view their parents as both powerful and loving are far more likely to grow into respectful and responsible adults.

When we do this, they learn the following logic: Every choice I make has consequences. Life is better when I make good ones. It takes a great amount of love to set limits and allow our kids to experience the consequences of their poor decisions.
