Tony and Kara review children's books that support (or inhibit) a "radical parenting" approach, based in trust and respect for the child.

Tony and Kara discuss the book Unconditional Parenting by Alfie Kohn, Social Scientist and champion of Progressive Education.

Tony and Kara discuss the book Elevating Childcare by Janet Lansbury, Respectful Parenting icon.

We look at the communication tools presented in this renown book through a Radical Parenting lens. Empathizing with our children, describing rather than evaluating, sidestepping power struggles, finding alternatives to punishment, and more. A highly useful book for parents on the front lines, searching for practical tools to replace old school parenting paradigms.
