RE: Daily Dose of Sultnpapper 06/17/18> Fathers Day in the USA… another mistake in raising our children.

in #blog6 years ago (edited)

Well, what do you expect when we live in a world in which children are so often kept very separate from grownups and made to run off and play or be quiet or watch TV and be out of the way. How can children learn ANYTHING grownup let alone respect when they do not interact and socialize around well adjusted adults? Send them to daycare, then school, then sports, then get a job. And so many so called grownups don't truly respect children either. It really works both ways. children acquire their behavior and beliefs as they develop. This is just one of the many reasons why my wife and I practice peaceful parenting and are radical unschoolers. Thanks for another good and not so dizzying post this time!

Yes, indeed. We aren't the radical unschoolers but we home school and I won't go as far as to say we are "peaceful" parenting either because I'm not sure what all that entails. We are fair, we listen and we discuss things with the kids and they get to make input into how we do things as a family. They don't have the final say by any means and quite often they aren't happy with the determination, but they get the full reasoning behind the decision so they know that it was a thoughtful one and looking out for the best interest of all involved.
Thanks for the compliment as well.

Sounds like peaceful parenting to me! There are other factors to the modality. Perhaps I will make a post or we can discuss it in Discord.
