Hi thinkers and alike, It's been mentioned a couple of times on the show, thought it might be just as well more accessible to a greater number of people... plus it's getting increasingly important to remind ourselves. I found the story (real) to be undeniably fascinating and deeply insightful....

Hey yall, I have been off the forums (was of course still donating) for about 4 years but still on board with FDR's message. I am having some depression issues lately I would love to talk about with some people. I have been to therapy and had a talk on Stefan's show years ago but am still fight... -
peaceful parenting Examples of Healthy Family Interaction
Frederik posted a topic in Peaceful Parenting
We all know how rare it is to come across healthy individuals, let alone healthy families. I find it very fascinating to see healthy people interacting, especially when that joy of living is shared across the generations. I want to create this kind of positive familial environment, too, an... -
Hi thinkers and alike, Are you familiar with the name Tony Attwood? I hadn't been, until seeing a short, titled "Is Asperger's syndrome the next stage of human evolution? - Australian Story". This is me walking on an imaginary thin ice, because almost sure if this subject became a presenta...

I've heard good arguments from both sides and my intuition says bad parenting, but I'd like to know if anyone has some really strong arguments for either side. I'd like to be a parent some day and if it is really just a phase, I'd like to be aware so that I can be supportive. As well I think it...

This problem's bugged me on and off so I wanna run past you guys before I'm 30 and panicking. I'm gay and I want to have children some day. Lots of them preferably, all raised peacefully. The problems I foresee are lack of female influence, conflict in who's child should be given birth to, an...

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1690455/?ref_=nv_sr_2 Just wanted to share this thought-provoking movie. It's an exploration of a man in his 30s who seems to be stuck in a childish state of mind. It's quite cringy as his life catalyzes over the span of the events of the film. It offers some welcome...

Hello FDR community! I would like to know your thoughts about the ethics and emotional necessity of caring for ones parents in old age and through sickness. I've always felt it was a persons duty to care for their parents. I've also felt that being with our parents through that terrifying ex...

I have heard Stefan several times stating that Germany did not go through an enlightenment age. Does anybody know what exactly he means by this? Because surely there were numerous enlightenment philosophers that came from Germany, and frankly I have not heard this statement anywhere else. To the ex...

I wanted to share this amazing book I just finished reading called: Boys Adrift http://www.boysadrift.com/ In this book Leonard Sax addresses a lot of the dysgenic effects rallied against in the gene wars while going on to give solutions parents could implement. I think Leonard Sax would make a...

Hello Everyone, I made a short presentation (7 min) on corporal punishment. It's unlisted on YouTube, at the moment. The idea was to create a sort of 'pilot' for a YouTube channel called 'PsychologyTube', that I'm thinking about starting in the future. The idea for the channel was somewhat inspi...

First of all, I apologize for not being well informed on the legal requirements for consent when it comes to circumcision. It is my understanding that only one parent is required to consent to the procedure, typically the mother. That being said, a friend of mine was recently persuaded by her h...

I took the title from the front page of the Globe & Mail today. I was once an illegal immigrant who was deported over the southern border, refiled and came back legally. I now hold permanent residence for where I was once deported. I hate to begin an argument with the phrase; "as a ______."...

A new article, where I comment on a response I got that argues yelling at your child is okay, even useful. In it, I explain why this is not the case, and analyze the response itself and how it reflects on the psyche of somebody who thinks this way. Response I received: "Not that I do not agree wit...- 1 reply

Was scouring meetups and facebook groups in my area to see who might be receptive or willing to work on a mission to spread peaceful parenting. Stumbled upon a group calling themselves Ethical Humanists, who claim to use philosophy to guide their actions. Went to a meetup group, and was received...

I think generally the FDR community regard parental separation/divorce as correlated with highly negative outcomes for children. Isn't this an over-simplification of the facts? I bumped into a study recently that said that when economic and parental attachment are taken into consideration, then...

I know that Stef has talked negatively about the effects of daycare in many of the shows. I'm trying to find the data that supports that position. Is that aggregated under one of the "Truth About" presentations or is it just spread around? I'd really appreciate some pointers to the research on ho...

I am not a parent yet, and I'm not sure that this technically falls under "Peaceful Parenting" but it certainly has to do with parenting and I've been giving this a lot of thought lately for some reason. What is the best way to teach a kid about sex or to explain where babies come from? I think...
