Love and Logic

I read the parenting book Love and Logic a million years ago when I was a young parent, and loved the whole "natural consequences" approach.

When I started teaching, I read the Love and Logic teaching book, and LOVED it.  I knew that I didn't like using rewards and punishment, that I didn't like the feel of my classroom when everyone was concerned about if they were going to get a sticker or a point...or lose one.  I always believed that building relationships with kids is the key to good behavior.

A couple of summers ago, a few teachers from my school and I took a class about it.  It was great to have a refresher!  I created a "cheat sheet" to help me keep on track.
