  1. Oh all this sounds sooo familiar. We were Love and Logic parents for a long time so I recognize some of those sayings.

    I'm looking forward to getting to know you through your blog. There aren't that many of us with teens out there.

  2. Yea, my first comment! Thx MarytheMom! It always strikes me how one can get to the same place from many paths. As I was sitting thru my foster parent training, I realized how applicable the training I recieved for substance abuse prevention for adults, adolescents and families would be for parenting traumatized teens. Ah duh, foster kids=high risk substance abuse. I'm in the process of crafting a post commenting on how skills learned from risk reduction can complement, love and logic skills and foster parenting traumatized teens in general. Stay tune.
