Non-Aggression Parenting Podcast Ep 1: Introduction and Haircut Stories
Channel: PeacefulAnarchism
Date: 30/05/2017

The core idea behind this program is to explore the crazy idea of treating our children like human beings instead of obedient property.  To understand this concept it is our goal to help shed light on how to the importance of teaching kids how to reason, peaceful parenting, attachment parenting, through the ideas of self ownership and nonaggression!

In this pilot episode we introduce ourselves, explain where we are coming from, and help guide you through the rabbit hole of wonder that is often fundamentally different from the idea of teaching authority and obedience but with the same goal of preparing our children to be more than order takers and order followers.

What makes the ‘revolutionary’ concepts of self-ownership, property rights, and nonaggression so important to teach our children?  How could these ideas help you and your children?

How much of a difference will explaining the purpose of acting a specific way will make when talking to children?  Employing reasoning with children, even if they are not quite able to understand everything all at once or even in the same day will help develop their cognitive abilities. 
 
Telling your children ‘because I said so’ is like a precursor to hearing ‘obey because it’s the law’ when they are an adult.  Context and clarity in communication and action is important to the development of critical thinking skills.  These skills can be learned through as simple a task of self-responsibility as cutting one’s hair.

An underlying goal is to ensure that our children are prepared to step foot into a world where freedom of choice is the status quo, not freedom of pre-selection.  Respecting the child in the moment will help them in the future by giving them the experience to understand the difference between demanded respect with undertones of coercion and voluntary respect to create trust, loyalty, and positive reputations.

Topics discussed: background, Stefan Molyneux, The Facts About Spanking, authoritarian parenting is exhausting, comfort with knives and fire, treating kids with respect, belief in authority, apologize to your kids if you have wronged them, child haircut stories, respect self ownership, understanding the consequences of decisions, not having all the answers, teaching independent thinking, ear piercing infants, circumcision, blaming one’s parents for their mistakes, rise of the digital age, 50 Real Differences Between Men and Women,  college/university irrelevancy, Joel Salatin from Polyface Farm and more!
