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

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/

The institution of government doesn't meet individual needs for respect and sovereignty

Moralistic thinking (right and wrong) can diminish our chances of getting our needs met from the person being accused and disconnect us from taking responsibility for our emotions
