Weekly Tip from the Love and Logic® Experts
Christopher lost 3.5 lunchboxes per year.
By third grade, he had come to believe that the price of a nice new lunchbox was listening to a few minutes of frustrated lecture from Mom or Dad. These lectures usually included funny parts about money not growing on trees and parents having to eat dirt for lunch when they were kids.
And then…they'd buy him a new lunchbox complete with a reminder: "You better not lose this one! I mean it!"
Thanks to their Becoming a Love and Logic Parent class, Christopher's parents learned some new ideas for handling this lunchbox problem. It sounded like this:
Christopher: "Mom! Somebody stole my lunchbox again!"
Mom: "Honey, that's awful. You loved that lunchbox. What do you think you're going to do?"
Christopher: "I need a new one."
