Conference Brings Love, Logic and Philosophy to Portland
Forget Ward and June Cleaver.
Move over Mr. Kotter. Faced with a
growing number of challenges, from
apathy and anger to peer pressure
and child violence, today’s parents
and teachers need new and effective
ways to reach children.
“ In a recent survey o f 1,000
America adults, we found that three-
fourths believe children today face
decisions with more dangerous con
sequences than ever before, ’’says
Jim Fay, co-founder of the Love and
Logic Institute.
“However, today’s parents are
struggling to find a consistent ap
proach to offering discipline and
structure. The Love and Logic phi
losophy increases a child’s chances
to succeed in life by consistently
offering him or her the right oppor
tunities to fail - as well succeed at
home and in the classroom.”
On Oct 12. Jim Fay will be pre
unbelievably low when you consider
a single ride can cost $2.50 per ride.
Plus, with each ticket purchased you
are automatically entered into a
drawing for terrific prizes like bi
cycles and electronic games.
