About this item

"I'm in love with this book! It illuminates the forces that make parenting so difficult, and helps us develop better relationships with our kids - and ourselves." - Hunter Clarke-Fields, MSAE, author of Raising Good Humans. Parenting is hard. But when we replace conventional parent-child power dynamics with collaboration, family life gets easier today - and we create a better world for all of us in the future.. When we see our children stalling, resisting, having tantrums, using mean words, and hitting, we want to just make it stop. But conventional discipline methods like time-outs, countdowns, and "consequences" teach children that it's OK for more powerful people to control others - a lesson they take out into the world. This is how we learned White supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalism from our parents - and we will replicate this with our children unless we make a different choice.
