Love and Logic Philosophy
This philosophy was
developed by Jim Fay (educator and principal) and Foster
W. Cline, M.D. (adult and child psychiatrist), the
founders of the Love and Logic Institute, Inc. in
Golden, Colorado. This philosophy is practical,
straightforward and backed by 30 years of experience.
The theoretical core of this approach is the idea that
success for children of all ages rests on a balance of
unconditional compassion, firm behavioral limits, and
logical consequences.
