The nationally recognized 'Love and Logic' program is being offered by Henry Ford Behavioral Health Services for parents of school age children.
Therapists have been trained by the Love & Logic Institute in Colorado and have at least ten years each of education and experience in providing child and family therapy at Henry Ford's many outpatient clinics. The classes use lectures, group discussions, videos, stories, and workbooks.
According to Jim Fay and Foster Cline, M.D., the founders of the program: 'Parenting with love and logic is all about raising responsible kids. It's a win-win philosophy. Parents win because they love in a healthy way and establish effective control over their kinds, without resorting to the anger and threats that will haunt them later through rebellious teenage behavior. Kids win because at an early age they learn responsibility and the logic of life by solving their own problems. Thus they acquire the tools for coping with the real world.'
The fees are $95 for a single parent or $150 for a couple, and include six consecutive classes, two hours each.
The classes and start dates:
• Troy: 6-8 p.m., Wednesday, Jan. 24, Henry Ford Medical Center - Troy, 2825 Livernois.
• Dearborn: 6-8 p.m., Tuesday, Jan. 23, Dearborn Behavioral Center, 5111 Auto Club Drive.
