Some quite challenging and challengeable. And great comments. A comment of mine then on the huge ice cream picture one. One of the single biggest challenges for any parent. And one of the easiest to fix. Some day, parents will realise that one thing kids can’t possibly know, immature pre frontal cortex or not, is that conventional ice cream is not food, not something for kids. Rather it is, normally, a means of conveying a large shot of processed fructose into the user. It’s a baby drug, like grown ups alcohol. Does exactly the same thing to the user. You don’t know it is, but I do? Too soon? Too boring? Too radical for 2021? Anyway, life we find, is so much easier without that one around for our young one. And so much better for brain and body development in young people.

Often, if given options, some kids will be more likely to comply, rather than only becoming told what they are allowed to do.

I think what the author of this article is saying is that parents/guardians should practice what they preach. Also, maybe some children will be more likely to cooperate if given choices, rather than just being told what they are going to do.

Builds autonomy and belonging. The first point, about sleeping alone, works for me mostly, and that’s what I did with my son. But I also wonder about when they get older, in college or middle aged, and don’t have the experience of sleeping alone and feeling safe. For many children, it’s impractical to sleep with family members and they probably develop great skills of self-reliance. Very interesting!
