Parenting: Love and Logic:
An approach to parenting based on building caring and respectful relationships with your children to help them form a foundation for good behaviour and healthy decision making. For those of you whose children attend Vancouver Christian School, you are likely familiar with the Love and Logic approach which is used by their educators.
The online parenting course is currently free until the end of April. It consists of a father-son duo who share their relatable and funny parenting stories and strategies. The videos look dated but the content is still relevant! If you decide to take the course, you have access to the materials for three months.
