4. Love and Logic Philosophy
Adults providing limits in a caring way
Building students up after being disciplined
Staying calm and avoiding confrontation with students
Using polite statements that are enforceable
Discipline is maintained with compassion

5. Discipline in the Classroom
Treating students with respect
Building positive relationships with students
Providing many choices throughout the day but when discipline is needed only use two choices
Using ENFORCEABLE STATEMENTS!

6. Experience for Children
Requires children to experience consequences
Absence of adult anger allows children to think and learn from mistakes
Act more responsible and not “point fingers”
Be empathetic in the situation and have logical consequences!

7. Love and Logic Helps Educators…
Set classroom limits without anger
Provide hope and willingness when it gets tough
Raise odds for students to stay in school
Manage and immediately handle disruptive students
Build positive relationships
Help students own and solve their own problems

8. This Works Because…
When adults take care of themselves, students are forced to handle their problems
When students have to solve a problem they have to think
When students have to think they have to learn that decisions have consequences
When dealing with consequences they have to learn to think
When we allow students to deal with consequences they have to learn to think before causing a problem
When students learn to ask themselves “How is my behavior going to affect me?” They have learned self control.
