Breaking Free by Nathaniel Branden http://books.google.com/books/about/Breaking_free.html?id=2U8dAQAAMAAJ
The Questions:
1. Did your parents respect your intellectual and physical privacy?
2. Did your parents project that what a person made of his life, and what you specifically made of your life, was important?
3. Did your parents encourage in you a fear of the world, a fear of other people? Or were you encouraged to face the world with an attitude of relaxed, confident benevolence? Or neither?

Breaking Free by Nathaniel Branden http://books.google.com/books/about/Breaking_free.html?id=2U8dAQAAMAAJ
The Questions:
1. Was it your parents' practice to punish you or discipline you by striking or beating you?
2. Did your parents project that they believed in your basic goodness? Or did they project that they saw you as bad or worthless or evil?
3. Did your parents project that they believed in your intellectual and creative potentialities? Or did they project that they saw you as mediocre or stupid or inadequate?
4. In your parents' expectations concerning your behavior and performance, did they take cognizance of your knowledge, needs, interest and context? Or were you confronted by expectations and demands that were overwhelming and beyond your ability to satisfy?

Breaking Free by Nathaniel Branden http://books.google.com/books/about/Breaking_free.html?id=2U8dAQAAMAAJ
The Questions:
1. Did your parents treat you with respect? Were your thoughts, needs, and feelings given consideration? Was your dignity as a human being acknowledged? When you expressed ideas or opinions, were they treated seriously? Where your likes and dislikes treated seriously? (Not necessarily agreed with or acceded to, but nonetheless treated seriously?) Were your desires treated thoughtfully and respectfully?
2. Did you feel that you were psychologically visible to your parents? Did you feel real to them? Did your parents seem to make a genuine, thoughtful effort to understand you? Did your parents seem authentically interested in you as a person? Could you talk to your parents about issues of importance and receive interested, meaningful understanding from them?
3. Did you feel loved and valued by your parents, in the sense that you experienced yourself as a source of pleasure to them? Or did you feel unwanted, perhaps a burden? Or did you feel hated? Or did you feel you were simply an object of indifference?

Sun, 2 September 2012
The Questions:
1. Were you encouraged to think independently, to develop your critical faculty? Or were you taught to be obedient rather than mentally active and questioning? Did your parents project that it was more important to conform to what other people believed than to discover what is true? When your parents wanted you to do something, did they appeal to your understanding and give you reasons for their request? Or did they communicate in effect, "Do it because I say so"?
2. Did you feel free to express your views openly without fear of punishment?
3. Did your parents communicate their disapproval of your thoughts, desires, or behavior by means of humor, teasing, or sarcasm?
I invite you to participate in an eight-week therapy group of at least five persons (each weekly session will be 1.5hrs)--please email me at wes@happinesscounseling.com, and we'll fine-tune the program. http://happinesscounseling.com/group-sessions-2/

Breaking Free by Nathaniel Branden http://books.google.com/books/about/Breaking_free.html?id=2U8dAQAAMAAJ
The Questions:
1. Did your parents deal with you fairly and justly? Did your parents resort to threats in order to control your behavior--either threats of immediate punitive action on their part, or threats in terms of long-range consequences for your life, or threats of supernatural punishments, such as going to hell? Were you praised when you performed well? Or merely criticized when you performed badly? Were your parents willing to admit it when they were wrong? Or was it against their policy to concede that they were wrong?
2. Did your parents' behavior and manner of dealing with you tend to produce guilt in you?
3. Did your parents' behavior and manner of dealing with you tend to produce fear in you?
4. Did your parents project that it was desirable for you to think well of yourself, to have self-esteem? Or were you cautioned against valuing yourself, and encouraged to be humble?
5. Did your parents encourage you in the direction of having a healthy affirmative attitude toward sex and toward your own body? Or a negative attitude? Or neither?
I invite you to participate in an eight-week therapy group of at least five persons (each weekly session will be 1.5hrs)--please email me at wes@happinesscounseling.com, and we'll fine-tune the program. Here is the information page: http://happinesscounseling.com/group-sessions-2/

Breaking Free by Nathaniel Branden http://books.google.com/books/about/Breaking_free.html?id=2U8dAQAAMAAJ
The Questions:
1. When you were a child, did your parents' manner of behaving and of dealing with you give you the impression that you were living in a world that was rational, predictable, and intelligible? Or a world that was bewildering, contradictory, incomprehensible, unknowable?
2. Were you taught the importance of learning to think, the importance of developing your mind, the importance of becoming a rational being? Did your parents provide you with intellectual stimulation and convey the idea that the use of your mind can be an exciting pleasure?

Since when did obedience become the epitome of good parenting? by Annalisa Barbieri http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2012/jan/19/are-obedient-children-a-good-thing
Is the common aim of parenting to raise compliant children? "The need for autonomy doesn't vanish because kids have been cowed into doing what they're told." A.Kohn

Though we don't have justice today, when our desires for freedom are perceived as demands by those in government, achieving justice becomes less likely. Speaking compassionately will help us start getting everyone's needs met.

Passing moral judgment (on oneself and others) tends to diminish the ability of getting one's needs met, because it represents an unexpressed (or poorly expressed) need

To live in a world in which people only do those things that they truly want to do will entail a psychological (and political) paradigm shift

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 http://www.unconditionalparenting.com/up/
Love is both a feeling and a need Collectivistic cultures tend to minimize or even disfavor self-interest and self-actualization, which leads to repressed feelings, e.g., of resentment and depression
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. :)

Our culture has a tough time with the idea of self-centeredness, similar to the notion of selfishness; Ayn Rand helped clarify: http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/selfishness.html http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/contradictions.html
You are your highest value, first and foremost, which enables you to see others as their own highest value--thus, neither sacrificing oneself to others, nor others to oneself A world of selfless people is not one in which people are getting their needs met

Happiness is our highest moral purpose, so it's vital to know what it objectively requires http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/happiness.html Out-of-context happiness (e.g., ignoring the ills of statism) is just as disconnected from one's true self as the unhappiest depression
