So as I started to put together the show tonight for Monday, I started feeling very, very poorly so I’ve made the decision to get to bed early tonight so I’m not feeling like Super-Crap tomorrow so I’m going to throw up the number 1 most downloaded show as of 7/21/13 (and is still being downloaded organically even until today).
Frankly, this is one of my personal favorites and addresses how parents tend to parent much like bullies…and even as slave drivers….oh yeah. I’m not kidding.

In this episode we discuss beliefs on how everyone (even kiddos) are created equal and are able to choose to be led, rather than decided for and commanded by parents.
We will also cover some kiddo sound bites on how they feel about slavery. One of my best and personal favorites as well as an audience top-downloader.

The two different perspectives we have to operate in with kids: seeing them as people, or objects and how even good parents seem to want to see kids as objects.
How we often see kids as inferior and not even be aware we are doing it.
How kids respond way more to how we view them, rather than what we say or do with/to them.
That’s right, as I was building the text part of this post I changed the title. Executive decision. 😀
