I'll be honest, my mom does everything in my house. She does the laundry, cooks, cleans and pretty much everything else. I barely do anything and I feel some guilt. She asks me to do things but I just don't want to. For example she wanted to get me and my sister to make dinner once a week. This...

This video pretty much asserts the moral argument that advertising to children is wrong. I found there to be interesting pyschological points about child development and how children learn, but it's presented from the angle of how marketers exploit these phenomenon to inject brand loyalty in a child's...

Greetings everyone. I'll apologize in advance for this being somewhat long, but I have to tell a little back story before I get to the crux of the problem if I am to hope anyone can offer advice. Like far too many kids, my sister and I are from a "broken" home. Our parents divorced when...

"Don't be a quitter" "it's important to stick to your commitments" My wife is a big fan of Vickie Berman's blog, Demand Euphoria, and yesterday talked to me about a post on being a 'quitter': http://demandeuphoria.blogspot.com/2011/02/im-quitter.html Her initial...

I'll never forget the night I stopped my mom dead in her tracks when my two year old son didn't want to wear a jacket on our way outside. "you're such a bad boy"; "you stop that right there! He's not a bad boy, he's a good boy who doesn't want to wear a jacket right...

When I express my desire to not hit, verbally abuse or shame my children, I'm treated like a freak at family gatherings; everyone tiptoes around the subject, trying not to give me a reason to talk about it. On top of that, since when is not lying such a revolutionary idea? People act like I'm...

I do not have any children but I'm very much in line with everything I've heard Stefan say about parenting on the shows. I would use some form of "radical unschooling" for my children that is. With that said I don't know what to think about pushing your children. For example, lets...

All hopped up on a whole weekend in the presence of like-minded individuals at Libertopia (except for that lawyer in the mask... Perry Mason WTF?!?) my wife, Kelly, and I both made great strides towards real honesty with our FOOs. A few weeks ago Kelly put up a post on her blog explaining why we don't...

This is going to be a long post, if I even post it at all. I'm 21, living at home (the spectre of my parents authority has worn out into a dull pain in the back of my head) and giving my life the college try. After working dead end jobs I figure going to school might be a better option for me. I...

Has anyone else noticed a change in their children's behavior after you have been reading FDR and using the techniques described here? My 6 year old son seems to be doing things that would have really annoyed me before. 2 days ago, he threw a tantrum in the store for the first time. I didn't...
