Atheist Homeschool

I can only imagine what kind of country we’d be living in if children were respected, and not criticized and condemned at every turn. As infants, most parents (except the Ezzo and Babywise variety) understand that an infant knows when he is hungry or tired. The fastest way to a peaceful relationship with an infant is to trust their expressions of what they need and go with that flow. In Babywise, Ezzo and his crazy religious freaks have decided that infants are trying to manipulate their parents by placing their own needs first. According to these nuts, parents must take control of the situation and force their baby into an arbitrary schedule, and enforce it. It makes me sad to think of all the babies who learned that their needs don’t matter, that they will not get what they need, and that they can’t trust their caregivers to actually take care of them. No wonder we’ve got issues
