Talk:Taking Children Seriously

message: As well as discussing the case studies of children raised using this theory, this article should also mention that one of the key proponents of this theory (David Deutsch) has no children of his own.   -- rupert  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.72.185.211 (talk) 17:08, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: What does this contribute to the article? To me it says that there is no need to consider the theory on its own merits because we already know that one of the originators doesn't know what he's talking about. Can a reliable source be found to confirm this and describe its relevance? If not it should stay out.Debouch (talk) 19:17, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Is it me, or is there an implication that TCS=letting them make the decisions? JHK
:No because one of the injuctions of TCS is for the parents not to self sacrifice. The decisions need to be a common preference that suites everyone. This involves being very creative with solution ideas until the common preference is found. Lumos3 17:00, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but that does seem to contradict somewhat what the article says: "If a common preference cannot be found, then the child's desires have priority over the adult's since all forms of coercion of the child are avoided." From that, it does seem that the child has the ultimate decision-making power. — Matt Crypto 18:37, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Only in the extremly unlikely event of no common preference being found would the parent decide they had no choice on that occaision but to self sacrifice their needs and go with the childs wishes alone. Lumos3 13:20, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: TCS=letting them make the decisions?

message: While I am very interested in TCS, I think this page is verging on a violation of WP:AUTO.  Sarah is closely associated with the concept of TCS, and the only reference to this article links to her website.  To me, that suggests the problems with autobiographical bias.  And that in turn seems confirmed by the fact that the article does not clarify whether TCS is an organization, an idea promoted by an organization, or an idea that exists independently of an organization.

message: If the parents don't do things against the child's will, how far will this go? What if the child needs surgery (say, appendicitis), and the child says no? are there laws that say that the child has to get it? I'm really curious about this. Thanks. :-) Ilikefood 01:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I can only speak for the Uk, but here, as long as a person can understand the medical treatment, then it is their right to refuse it. This means any child can refuse any form of medical treatment, with no legal way to force them to have said treatment, on the condition that they can understand the consequences of not having the treatment etc. --NeoNerd 21:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I propose removing the notabilty box from the article as it is now well provided with citations and links. Lumos3 (talk) 10:41, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I have re-tagged with notability concerns. The article is poorly-sourced, mostly primary sourcing, and half of it in its current state is about Karl Popper as an influence, rather than about the movement itself. Tacyarg (talk) 23:43, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
