📚 Summer Reading Spotlight for Parents: "Parenting with Love and Logic" — Real Tools for Real Teens
This summer, we invite you to dive into the nationally respected Love and Logic parenting program—because raising a teenager doesn’t come with a manual, but it can come with a plan.
Why Love and Logic for High Schoolers?
Teenagers crave independence—but they also need structure, consistency, and connection. The Love and Logic approach teaches how to set firm limits with empathy and coach students through real-life consequences that help them grow—without power struggles.
High school brings big transitions: harder academics, emotional ups and downs, driving, dating, college prep, and a push for more freedom. Love and Logic helps you navigate these years with tools like:
🎯 Letting natural consequences do the teaching—so you don’t have to yell or nag.
🧠 Teaching responsibility through thoughtful decision-making—instead of lectures.
💬 Saying less, but meaning more—so you maintain calm and connection.
❤️ Balancing empathy with accountability—so your teen feels supported but not rescued.
Real Talk, Real Tools
Whether it’s forgotten homework, screen time battles, or prepping for life beyond high school, this book provides ready-to-use scripts and ideas to help you parent with less stress and more confidence. It also supports the development of executive functioning, problem solving, and emotional resilience—all things we want our teens to take with them into adulthood.
