Episode Synopsis

Question 1: [2:36] - “I have been listening to your videos on peaceful parenting and it has changed the way I plan on parenting my children in the future. After thinking about the way my mother taught me to parent in comparison, it has made me doubt the methods I've learned to use for my 10-month-old. Do you have any information on how to peacefully and productively guide children who are not quite yet toddlers and are beginning to push boundaries?"Question 2: [48:48] - “I’m a university student tasked with writing a research paper for my sociology class, with the topic of explaining the assertion that race is a social construct. The worst part about it is the requirement to use only sources provided by my extremely liberal professor. Under freedom of speech I would assume that I couldn't be penalized if I also presented in an objective manner the other perspective that race is biological/genetic. Would it be a violation of free speech if I was penalized for presenting both perspectives in the paper using outside credible resources?”Question 3: [1:17:12] - “Have you ever questioned how far you should discuss philosophy with students in a school setting? Do you consider age or parent perceptions when the minors are not your own children? When discussing men and women’s value in society, how do you approach these concepts with women if you are not married and do not have your own children, without the women getting emotional?”Question 4: [2:16:24] – “I’m in a committed relationship and for the first time, my partner has the same family values as mine does. Hard work, ethics, education starts at home, etc. We were friends a lot of time and he knows my goals and we agree on them, he's a good and handsome man and I’d be happy to form a family with him.”“The problem is, we are from different religions and different countries. I don't have a problem with the logistics, I’m very open to live wherever we will live better. But since I will be raising the children when they are young: How does one handle teaching children about their mother and father's respective religions, cultures and countries, and at the same time give them a strong sense of belonging and connection to their heritage?”Question 5: [2:44:20] - “I'm writing in because I'm curious what your take is on the educational statistics/trends regarding boys and girls. Specifically, girls outperforming boys in grade school and college and more boys failing. I'm a mother of two boys and a girl. While my daughter excels in school, my high school son is constantly challenged and struggles. Outside of school he's highly creative, productive and motivated with his own projects. I want to support all my children equally in my becoming healthy, whole, confident, functioning adults but I wonder if the struggle he experiences is more than his personal journey and that the system is set up to favor girls. I would appreciate your thoughts to help get clarity on the best way to support him.”Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
