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 Kohnhttp://www.unconditionalparenting.com/up/ Love is both a feeling and a needCollectivistic 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. :) Youth Voices on Peacemaking and Conflict Resolutionhttp://www.goodradioshows.org/peaceTalksL84.htm Marshall Rosenberg 6-09 When Authority Destroys Creativity from NVC Training Coursehttp://www.amazon.com/Nonviolent-Communication-Training-Course/dp/1591794439 bumper music "Joyful Wonder" by Otthttp://www.ottsonic.net/ to comment, please go to http://completeliberty.com/magazine/category/91697

In this episode I cover Chapter Six: What Holds Us Back in the book Unconditional Parenting: Moving From Rewards And Punishments To Love And Reason by Alfie Kohnhttp://www.unconditionalparenting.com/up/ We learn various costly ways of conditional and controlling parenting via: -What we see and hear, especially from our family and friends and advice from media figures and doctors -What we believe, especially societal views of children in terms of their perceived lack of capabilities and the widespread acceptance of control through competition, conformity, punishment, religion, and notions of parenting permissiveness, authoritativeness, and authoritarianism -What we feel, in terms of projecting our own emotions and behaviors on kids stemming from our own unmet needs from childhood and the myriad psychological defenses arising from them -What we fear, such as inadequacy, incompetence, powerlessness, being judged by others, our children's safety, and fears of babying and permissiveness, all of which can foster parental behavior that doesn't meet kids' vital needs Being dissociated from and disowning of one's own child-self is central to not meeting the needs of children and not having authentic and joyful interactions with them Patience and empathy foster win/win, life-enriching relationships with children Punishment for violating governmental "laws" is a near perfect reflection of the punishment model of parenting Mind sacrifice entails the surrender of one's own reasoning ability to allegedly higher authoritieshttp://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/mystics_of_spirit_and_muscle.htmlhttp://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/religion.html Parenting with carrot-and-stick manipulation, either on one end or the other--or the so-called "just right" approach--disconnects both parents and kids from what's alive in them, their true reasoning selves, and their feeling and needs Adults' unmet needs from childhood, if not examined, understood, and dealt with, can lead to many costly strategies to get them met, particularly as parents11 Situations in Which it Is Not Appropriate for You to Have Children by Daniel Macklerhttp://www.iraresoul.com/nokids.html Placing "limits" on kids often means not letting them develop the essential skill of determining their own limits--so that they can be responsible and self-governing Feel free to contact me for a counseling session at [email protected]://happinesscounseling.com Open NVC Sessions...http://completeliberty.com/forum/topic/13 bumper music "Set Theory" by Divider (unable to find link) to comment, please go to http://completeliberty.com/magazine/category/91697

Governments try to prevent individuals from making their own choices, such as where they travel and what work they do--branding individuals with passports and visas facilitates controlling them Nation-states are human farms, which indoctrinate their "livestock" in memes of obedience, submissiveness, and fear of punishment, so that economic parasitism is seen as necessary and proper Lack of trust in individuals is a main reason we have statism, and it's self-perpetuating In contrast, parenting that meets the needs of children--for respect, choice, autonomy, and love--enables a society to flourish without desires for coercion and punishment, i.e., without people trying to control others via government A life proper to a human being requires getting one's need met for justice (among many vital needs) New podcast by my friend Joey Hill, hosted at http://cafelibertalia.com http://asktheanarchist.blogspot.com/ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ask-the-Anarchist-Podcast/143189079081459 http://www.libertaliafoundation.org/ http://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/NOTE1.HTM (death by government) http://mises.org/etexts/defensemyth.pdf (the myth of national defense) http://www.cnvc.org/ (center for nonviolent communication) bumper music "Fear Of Domination" by Fear Of Domination http://www.fearofdomination.com/ to comment, please go to http://completeliberty.com/magazine/category/91697
