Love, Logic, and Natural Consequences

Having read and agreed with the Love and Logic series, we have used it with our kids who understand logic. It has worked well for them.

Today I had conferences for a child that has not been doing homework. He doesn't bring it home, or he loses it, or he lies about it. I just found out he has 5 weeks of summer school coming and after school required homework time for the rest of the school year.

Not only will those be natural consequences, but he's a difficult child and not having him occupied somewhere else for several more hours each week is not going to be too painful for me.

And 8-12 a.m. for 5 weeks this summer is a God send.

I love it when everything works out great for everyone.
