Dear Parents,

 

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May your Christmas be filled with warm memories with your family and may your New Year be filled with hope and dreams for you and your child(ren).

 

Travel safely and we’ll see you back in 2020!

 

Love and Logic Tip of the Week:

When you use an effective technique, be thankful when your kid gets mad and throws a fit. This is how you will know your approach is working. Stick with it! In the long run, you’ll be glad you did!

God Bless,
