❤️ That’s a wrap on Love & Logic!
Today our team completed our third and final session with Pharos Parenting. A huge thank you to Heather for spending the past three weeks with us and giving our team practical tools we can use every day.
Today’s big takeaway: show empathy, but hand the problem back.
“I bet that hurts.”
“What do you think you’re going to do?”
“Would you like to hear a few ideas?”
Rather than solving every problem for someone, we can help them consider options, think through consequences and build confidence in making their own decisions.
We also talked about contributions instead of chores — using everyday responsibilities like emptying the trash, cleaning, laundry and caring for shared spaces to build life skills. Clear expectations, breaking tasks into manageable steps and teaching someone how to do something can make all the difference.
That fits perfectly with our work at Fifth Street: helping people build the skills and confidence needed for greater stability and self-sufficiency.
And a special thank you to Board Member Nick Martin for treating our staff to an amazing lunch of ribs, chicken, pork, beans, collards and ALL the sauces! 😋
A great way to wrap up three weeks of learning together! ❤️
