Thoughts about parenting and education



One child at a time

An introduction


The Ethical status of children

They did not ask to be born and do not belong to us


Get to know you child

They should be allowed to live their nature


For a lasting relationship

Don't be authoritarian, power is a bad foundation


When a child lies

It says more about you than about them


It's not what you say

It's what you do


Competition's overrated

Learning to cooperate is much more important


Siblings' quarrels

Let them resolve themselves without interference


Love is unique

We don't love all our children the same


Not every game is playing

And not every playing is a game


Learning to read and write

Leave them kids alone


Childhood fears 

what does not kill you makes you weaker


When a child  cries

It's not that bad


Sleep ethics

Sleep is not a moral issue


Life's objects

The stuff that surrounds us is important for our soul
