RE: Do We Need Government? Case Study: Trick-or-Treating
Good point. How do you apply this practice when raising your kids? I don't think the idea that time outs and "controlled violence" is the best way to correct bad behavior. It's just hard to find what works when you are trying to lead by example, and every corrective experience you ever had as a kid was delivered by pain and limitations.
I should do another post on peaceful parenting. It's challenging to break out of the molds which were cast for us by our parents. Finding appropriate ways to deal with destructive, juvenile behavior is very difficult. We don't have it all figured out, and we still struggle often with not yelling (especially when one child is hurting another one). I've read some good books, but I'd also love to see more practical trainings and examples we can all follow.
I remember seeing that post, I will go back and read it. We have been trying: Your Self-confident Baby by Magda Gerber http://amzn.to/2jKEhKM it has been very helpful.
I've been meaning to pick up some more parenting books. Thanks for the reminder!
