Video (9:25): What to do instead of forced isolation (time out)
Just a related video that I saved a while back. Tl;dw is that time outs are not an effective discipline
Wow, great video. I'm never around children and never going to have children, but it was genuinely fascinating.
I’m glad you liked it. I also think parenting theory is interesting in a way similar to Marxist theory. It trains us not only to question our norms, but to realize that they were norms at all — and therefore questionable!
As an aside, I think ageism against children is an understudied area of Marxist theory… if it’s been addressed at all. The patriarchal character of the modern family has been criticized extensively, but only from a feminist angle. There isn’t much advocacy for the rights of children because it is generally accepted that they are unequal members of the family. It is true that children are less developed than adults, but they still deserve more autonomy than is the norm today. The adoption industry is one of the worst examples of this.
