On The Web We All Become Small-town

Instead Of Just Saying, "i Love My Baby And I Pick Him Up Because He's Adorable And It's So Nice To Cuddle With Him," We Practice Attachment Parenting. We Let Our Children Play Outside And Have Age-appropriate Freedoms And Are Labeled Free-range Parents.

I'm Afraid The Parenting Advice To Come Out Of Developmental Psychology Is Very Boring: Pay Attention To Your Kids And Love Them.

We Fear Death So Profoundly, Not Because It Means The End Of Our Body, But Because It Means The End Of Our Consciousness - Better To Be A Spirit In Heaven Than A Zombie On Earth.

Caring, Whether For Children Or The Dying, Shouldn't Be Instrumental. It Should Be An Intrinsic, Moral Good.

We're In A Culture Where Everything Is Either Consumption Or Production, So Child Care Is Either A Very, Very Bad-paying Form Of Work Or A Very Expensive Luxury That You Purchase. There Isn't A Good Place In Our Picture Of The World For What Caregiving Is About. Even Teenage Babysitters Have Sort Of Disappeared From The Scene.
