🚨 Controversial take alert 🚨
This is a topic that is fraught with misunderstanding and requires a lot of deep thinking and nuance. Yes, sitting with the discomfort of not understanding something fully is required to be able to start opening the mind to rejecting seeing caregiving as being either rife with non-negotiables and limits or chaotic permissiveness.

You may have seen some content lately by big parenting creators sharing their ruptures with their children. And we all have moments where we regret what we said or did, regardless of parenting philosophy - but what folks are leaving out of this conversation is that by returning to the same power-over, domination culture in our homes that these gentle parenting creators swear by, we’re missing the point.

Letting go of control and doing the DEEP work required to cultivate true collaboration and partnership with our kids is the only way to shift towards a truly respectful, trusting dynamic that will last.

The full article is available now on my Substack - link in bio and stories.

children who are being “spoiled” and “coddled” by their caregivers are being relentlessly controlled and criticized by a societal culture who dismisses them. our assignment isn’t to fix our children’s behaviour to avoid the inevitable - it’s to model what a truly respectful and loving relationship is.

We can only do this by looking inward.

Learning to see the poisonous effects of the coercive systems we live inside of is the first step to becoming relational caregivers! 🤍

We’re raising liberated individuals because a more connected, compassionate, and kind world starts at home.
When children grow up knowing their worth, honouring their voice, and feeling safe to be fully themselves, they become adults who won’t settle for anything less for themselves or others.

Take your time with this quote - it’s a profound and important lesson. 🤍

bell hooks illustrates specifically why I refuse to use dominator culture - which views relationships through power, hierarchy, and control - as the lens through which I see my relationship with my child.

When we relate to our children from this mindset, we miss the opportunity to build mutual respect, trust, and genuine connection.

Instead of shaping our bond around who holds power, I want my relationships with my kids to be grounded in collaboration, empathy, and shared humanity. That’s how children learn to value themselves and others, not through dominance but through authentic relationship.   This book is filled with profound wisdom and teachings about the patriarchal capitalist imperialist white supremest culture that is inherently and violently pulling us away from each other, and more importantly, how we can refute its messaging.
