Book Review: “How the World is Making Our Children Mad, and What to Do About It: A field guide to raising empowered children and growing a more beautiful world"
Before my children reached adolescence, I decided that I needed to treat them as adults. This basically meant two things. I asked their opinion about a lot of things. And, I stopped answering questions, and in return, asked questions to help them think for themselves. The problem with this strategy is that many parents don’t know how to think for themselves. As a result, they project their own inner conflicts on to their children. I spend a lot of time talking with Millennials and GenZers. See in child rearing and parenting styles over a long time, I’d say the essential problem is a lack of situational awareness which leads poor development of self-awareness. I’m passing your post along to my children who are at child rearing age.
Most adults interfer with and inhibit young people's thinking. I let everyone young person know I am not smarter because I am an adult. I might have more experience and more information, it dosen't mean I am more intelligent. We function in the same way and on the same wave length once one got past or took into account the smaller amount of information available to the very young person and the restricted amount of free attention immediately available to the elders.
So important. I'm just listening to Catherine Austin Fitts - loads and loads about the mind control programs in place for everyone, very much including your children. Do you listen to her? Solari.com I have about 10 links open to listen. She is a wealth of detailed info.

I love ur work Louis …. Is there like an organization or grass roots movement who has similar thoughts as you one can join? To help bring this issue to the forefront? . I created Polyvagal Teen - Our vision at Polyvagal Teen is to support in creating teens who are friends with their nervous system. So on point … gaslighting our children to avoid uncomfortable truths. I am late diagnosed adhd … if u scan my childhood …. It’s obvious my behaviors impacted by childhood events … if a child feels unloved or unsafe … u spend so much time in ur head as it’s safer … u can fantasize … less room for executive functioning to take place. As a mom I was determined to break generational trauma - and I have broken these patterns.
