In this episode I cover the Appendix - Parenting Styles: The Relevance of Culture, Class, and Race in the book Unconditional Parenting: Moving From Rewards And Punishments To Love And Reason by Alfie Kohn Love is both a feeling and a need When parents spank children, they inflict pain and induce fear in them, i.e., fear of parental "authority," which sends a really confused and contradictory message to them about their own individuality and choice--and it perversely mixes notions of love with violence. Basically, violating the rights of children doesn't help them flourish. Lenient parenting methods are just as lopsided as punitive parenting methods. They don't teach children respectful ways to express feelings and get needs met, while meeting the needs of others. It's important for parents to express their feelings in relation to their unmet needs, and be advocates for getting their needs met as much as children do. Many thanks to Alfie Kohn for putting such a book of useful information about parenting into the world. May the memes of unconditional parenting spread far and wide, so that adults learn that there are life-enriching, win/win ways to get needs met in families, and children therefore grow up healthy and happy. :) Youth Voices on Peacemaking and Conflict Resolution Marshall Rosenberg 6-09 When Authority Destroys Creativity from NVC Training Course bumper music "Joyful Wonder" by Ott to comment, please go to http://completeliberty.com/magazine/category/91697 Direct download: Episode_154_-_Unconditional_parenting_part_fifteen.mp3 Category:general -- posted at: 11:02 PM |

In this episode I cover the first half of Chapter Nine: Choices For Children in the book Unconditional Parenting: Moving From Rewards And Punishments To Love And Reason by Alfie Kohn Even if you're not a parent who is frustrated about how to deal with kids so that your own needs are met, it's key to get in touch with your child-self, so that you can focus on life-enriching, respectful interactions that are essentially win/win with children Using operant and classical conditioning on children (and adults) basically prevents them from becoming mature human beings, beings that are self-actualized, self-confident, self-respecting, independent and happy; "pop behaviorism" disconnects us from our feelings and needs, treating us as nonconceptual creatures to be punished or bribed instead of reasoned with Children are volitional, conceptual beings, in contrast to other primates (and all other organisms) Statism is a recapitulation of the coercive family environment, in which kids' need for respect isn't met (among many other needs) Domination language and domination structures thwart our need for autonomy and foster widespread coercion and hypocrisy As humans, we all have the same needs: The Secret Of Childhood by Maria Montessori bumper music "Chasing The Sun" by Ryan Farish to comment, please go to http://completeliberty.com/magazine/category/91697 Direct download: Episode_149_-_Unconditional_parenting_part_eleven.mp3 Category:general -- posted at: 1:56 AM |

In this episode I cover the first half of Chapter Eight: Love Without Strings Attached in the book Unconditional Parenting: Moving From Rewards And Punishments To Love And Reason by Alfie Kohn Some of Ayn Rand's views on love... Life is what you make of it; your sense of life essentially colors your experiences yet doesn't alter objective reality; no one's needs ought to be sacrificed in the process of living happily Nonviolent communication is truly a language of life, essential for adults and children--for families Instead of offer criticism, strive to complain effectively...
