Love & Logic
"You can do anything you want in this classroom provided it doesn't cause a problem for someone else." The expectations in our classroom are: 1. Be Responsible 2. Be Respectful 3. Be Safe 4. Be a Problem Solver These expectations are designed to share control, share thinking and decision-making, and help children increase their self-concept by setting enforceable limits in a loving way with logical consequences. Logical consequences will help your child fix his/her mistakes and know what to do next time, not make him/her feel bad. Your child will be held accountable for solving his/her problems in a way that does not make a problem for others. It is my hope that through respect and empathy I can help your child gain the necessary skills to make good choices and realize that making it through a tough situation is always an option. In addition to providing a safe environment where kids feel free to take risks and feel empowered with making choices, I am passionate about building a working community where we truly care for one another. |
