#Abraham & #Eliezer were #noncoercive in each step.
Abe will free his servant if the woman won’t be willing to be Isaac’s wife.
The servant is willing to turn another way to find someone else if #Rebekah’s family won’t agree.

Parenting ‘experts’ often suggest that being #noncoercive means ignoring or sacrificing our own needs and wishes – but that is no more true in our relationships with our children than it is in our relationships with our adult partners and friends.
#TakingChildrenSeriously
Adults tend to irrationally hold fixed ideas which no amount of reason on the child’s part will shift. 🤭

The idea of #kindness and being #noncoercive and seeing the good intentions is not just about #TakingChildrenSeriously – it applies to all relationships. 🫂

Subjecting #children to #propaganda, such that they are implicitly intimidated into adopting the idea out of fear that if they fail to adopt it they will no longer be accepted, is coercive and impairs learning.

Other than #noncoercive people, is there anyone who would disagree with the idea that we #parents should never use more than the absolute minimum of coercion necessary?
Surely not even the most brutal parent would disagree?

“The right I ask for the young is a right that I want to preserve for the rest of us, the right to decide what goes into our minds.”
- John Holt, 1974, Escape From Childhood, Chapter 24: The right to control one’s learning

The things people find difficult to learn as an adult are precisely the things they were forced to learn as a child. Everything else is easy to learn as an adult.

Children are born learners. The idea that they need to be subjected to educatonal coercion to help them “learn to learn” makes no sense. If #children are not born already able to learn, how would they “learn to learn”?

What if someone were to say to you that he will ‘try’ the ‘voluntary’ approach, and if that ‘fails’, then he will ‘have to’ force it on you?

Life does not have to involve either ruling or being ruled. Instead, we can stand side by side with no one ruling, all of us free to be in control of our own life, solving problems individually and jointly, and having fun doing so.

Instead of asking who should rule, what I advocate is that the whole family get what they want. Problems are soluble! And a solution is an outcome all the parties – #parents and #children alike – prefer to any other solution.

Having a rule which overrides your reason is at best going to entrench bad habits. How do you know the thing you are forcing yourself (or your child) to do is actually right? If it is right, why can’t you (or your child) feel good about it?

“Forcing children to share their toys is coercion. [T]hey comply out of fear, not generosity. […] If they own something, they expect to be able to decide about it. Being respectful means that we respect children’s right to decide about their things.”

Don't miss this brilliant article by @grantgoedde. It is about what ‘screentime’ looks like in the absence of the usual parental coercion. Beautiful:

We should take everyone seriously, irrespective of age.

The biggest obstacle to learning is the school system itself.

If you feel justified in imposing your ideas on someone else, such as your child or any other innocent person, you are not taking that person seriously as a separate individual.

We #parents are not omniscient infallible gods. We just think we are. 🤭
