It's true that they don't value childhood in their culture. So this all makes sense. We're fighting for children to be able to experience childhood in a world that doesn't value it
Thank you for this. Your thesis makes a lot of sense to me. I wondered if you have come across the work of Darcia Narvaez? I think it has a lot of resonance with the direction of your thinking eg. Her series on 'What happened to species-typical human nature?'. And have you heard of unschooling? Writers like Akilah Richards and Iris Chen are amongst those currently trying to deconstruct and decolonise parenting and education on a practical level. I offer these possible connections just in case they are of any interest to you, but of course feel free to ignore them! So glad to have found your writings and your course and learning a lot- thank you.

Did parts of the world treasure children? Was it different in non Christian places? I am just wondering how different the world could be if only
Thank you for this historical context. Flipped my understanding on its head.
Listening to your presentation also made me curious as to the status of corporal punishment where I live. I don’t like what I’m starting to find out.
