The Fun Power Challenge: Love of Play
The goal of this first LPS Wellness Challenge is to encourage students to be physically active in many ways throughout the day, while also having fun playing. Children and families are asked to keep track of the fun play activities they do outside of school. Walking the dog, playing basketball or football in the yard, climbing on monkey bars, or skateboarding are all examples of the Fun Power of Play. Students in grades 3, 4, and 5 will bring home their record keeping page on Monday, September 15 and return it to school on Monday, September 22. Children in grades K, 1, and 2 will record their play activities from the night before with their class. Questions? Please ask Mr. Atanasu.

LOVE AND LOGIC MOMENT:
“Getting Too Full of Himself”
By Jim Fay
Veronica came to the fourth session of her Parenting the Love and Logic Way® class anxious to get some help with a festering problem with twelve-year-old Jake. A recent growth spurt had left him taller than her, and now he believed that she no longer deserved his respect.
“I was so embarrassed! I saved money to take him and his little brother to the movies. You should have been there! He wouldn’t take his feet off the back of the seats in front of us, and he kept making loud and nasty remarks during the movie. Strangers were even telling him to settle down! I just didn’t know what to do.”
Two members of her Love and Logic class offered to help develop a very special plan for Jake. On their next “movie day,” sixteen-year-old Preston appeared at her door just before they were ready to leave for the theater. He was the extremely large son of one of these class members, and he did a masterful job describing his role to the rather bewildered Jake: “I’m here to watch you while your mom and your brother go to the movies. I heard that you wouldn’t listen to her last time. That’s not cool. How are you planning to pay me? I charge fifteen bucks.”
“Hey,” yelled Jake. “I’m not staying with you, and I’m not paying. I’m leaving!”
“That’s okay.” Preston calmly replied, “I get paid whether you stay or leave, and your Mom said that she could also give me your allowance over the next month as payment.”
Jake freaked! “Hey, that’s way more than fifteen bucks!”
Shrugging his shoulders, Preston agreed with empathy, “I know. That’s because when you pay later you have to include interest.”
Jake had no idea that this plan had been hatched at Mom’s parenting class. As a result of this little intervention, do you think he’ll be at least a bit more mannerly in the movies?
Many Love and Logic parents frequently listen to the audio CD, Hormones & Wheels, for reminders about ways of staying on top of the ever-changing behaviors of their teens…and tweens.
Thanks for reading! Our goal is to help as many families as possible. If this is a benefit, forward it to a friend.
