I have created a free, reality based workbook series for children ages 2-7. I am looking to promote this series and get feedback. The website is: realworkbooks.com. What is this about? Nearly all educational tools available to young children are based on fantasy. Many studies(see notes on bottom for more info) show that a child's ability to distinguish fantasy from real-life events is different than adults. For instance, most children believe that they can change reality with their mind. This project was inspired by Roslyn Ross. I highly recommend watching here lectures from Libertopia this year to learn more about the fantasy worlds that are created for children. Here is a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJG1rrjD3lQ What can I do? Please share this website with friends, especially if they have young children. It is not explicitly anarchic, which means it can be more widely distributed. The results can be very beneficial for liberty though. Imagine kids that learn based on reality. They think empircally and objectively. How easy would it be to indoctrinate them with the magical thinking of governments, social contracts, positive rights, etc? It would probably be quite difficult, even if they have never heard of the NAP or voluntarism. We are also looking for feedback and donations.
