Socialist Parenting

Because I Said So!

Welcome to the only podcast where hard truths about parenting are no-holds-barred. Today, I'm tackling a contentious narrative: Socialist Parenting, inspired by an article by Elizabeth Bastos in the Washington Post. I'm not merely unpacking this hot topic, but digging deep into the philosophies it purports, examining the concerning trend of "gentle parenting", and venturing my own critique.
I'm challenging the widespread misconception that contemporary child discipline is about controlling children. Instead, I'm championing the need to nurture self-control within our children. Hear my argument for a balanced blend of freedom, responsibility, and accountability in parenting. I offer a critical perspective on parents' misguided desires to be liked by their children and how this cultural trend is reshaping parenting norms. I strongly believe that obedient children are happier - a notion that might raise a few eyebrows, but hold on, as I build my case for this belief. So, brace yourselves to delve into the crux of successful parenting, shattering some popular parenting myths along the way.
