Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing back the workbooks! Using a hardcopy of the workbook is so much easier to navigate for participants and helps limit distractions!
Thank you!
As a facilitator and now a therapist, nothing has positively impacted my life or my family's more than the ideals and strategies of Love and Logic.
I appreciate the personal customer service of Farley and Kelly over the years they are trusted for thier consistant support.
I am so excited to be using this material once again, training classroom teachers, administrators, and parents. Love distributed in a logical manner! This approach has been effective for more than fifty years and needed in today’s society more than ever!
I love the updates to the readings and exercises. The videos are great as well and I appreciate not having to keep track of a USB. I am, however, very disappointed that the workbooks are digital only. Teachers have a difficult time navigating them, the boxes do not wrap text well, and it requires teachers to be on their computer during the training which leads to them not being fully engaged as they have easy access to email and other programs. Please bring back the paper workbooks or allow them to print from digital!
The 9 Essential Skills is exactly what the name implies - Essential for a classroom to run smoothly, and for the teacher and kids to share mutual respect and dignity. This is an amazing skill set and the teachers are so enthusiastic!
What a breath of fresh air! Thank you Love and Logic.
I absolutely LOVE the new edition. The videos and articles are updated and beautiful! I am currently teaching the new program at an elementary school and they giggle and laugh and share stories- even after teaching all day. 💜
I have had the privilege of being an Independent Trainer for the Love and Logic curriculum for over 17 years, working with hundreds of schools and organizations. This updated version of "9 Essential Skills for the Love and Logic Classroom" offers the simplest and most effective way to introduce "Love and Logic" into your school. The teacher's guide is designed to make facilitation easy, allowing you to lead engaging discussions with ease. The videos are spectacular. This curriculum equips school staff with valuable tools that enhance both their professional and personal lives. These strategies not only reduce burnout but also improve overall well-being and job satisfaction. Every school should have this curriculum. It will make a world of difference, and you will be a superstar for bringing it in.
