Partners In Parenting

Kingswood United Methodist Church Family Ministries
Presents Becoming a Love and Logic® Parent Classes

Partners in Parenting, a unit of the Kingswood United Methodist Church’s (KUMC) Family Ministries, seeks to offer support to parents to enhance their parenting skills and to support their family faith journey and Christian leadership. One of the ways that Partners in Parenting does this is by periodically offering parenting classes. Based on the nationally known and respected Becoming a Love and Logic Parent® program and led by trained Love and Logic® Facilitator and KUMC member, Melissa Dillon, classes provide participants with the everyday, practical skills needed to help them become happier, more confident parents. Billed as “America’s most practical and entertaining parent training,” Love and Logic® helps parents address many of their day-to-day frustrations. The class provides a toolkit of skills that can be used immediately to address everyday parenting issues like, “How do I get my kids ready to walk out the door for school on time?,” and “How do a handle toddler misbehavior in public without a scene?” or bigger issues, like “How do I raise kids who are likely to make good choices for themselves as teenagers?” The skills are timeless, with successful techniques and strategies for all ages. To learn more about the Love and Logic® program, log on to their website at www.loveandlogic.com. At Kingswood United Methodist Church, the class typically meets weekly for eight two-hour sessions. The first seven provide instructional techniques, and the final session is a practicum for parents to brainstorm together and share their techniques, concerns and successes. The cost is typically $100 per individual or $175 per couple with childcare available. If you are interested in taking this series or to see when it may be offered again, please contact Melissa Dillon at billandmo@comcast.net.
