Love & Logic is a research-based parenting class with Two Core Rules…

2. Hand problems back: When kids cause a problem, parents let them own it and solve it instead of rescuing them.

**Beyond ECFE (Caregivers Only) Online Class**
Minneapolis Public Schools is hosting this class. It is designed for caregivers whose children have aged out of traditional ECFE programming but who still value connection, support, and shared learning. Join a welcoming space to explore parenting topics for elementary‑age children, reflect on new developmental stages, and build community with others navigating similar experiences. Sessions include discussion, resources, and practical strategies tailored to the needs of families beyond the early childhood years.
