a-parenting -- Forum on anarchist/non-authoritarian parenting and child care
About a-parenting	English (USA)
"Anarchist Parenting" is a forum dedicated to the sharing of practices and experiences which relate towards anarchist/anti-authoritarian parenting and child care in a society in which strong emphasis is placed on materialism, hierarchy and domination. This is a place intended for the discussion of how parents and other child caregivers do and should treat and relate to children and young people, while focusing on the anarchist perspective. This forum also explores how various forms of hierarchy and domination, such as the State, capitalism and patriarchy, affect and relate to child-raising. This is also a place to exchange ideas on how to overcome the hierarchy and domination that exists in the area of parenting and child care. Though it may touch on it, this is not specifically a forum for the discussion of schooling or educational approaches. Nor is this a forum for the discussion of anarchism or youth liberation in general. This e-mail list exists to have an informative, respectful, and open discussion about anarchist parenting. With this being the case, it must be clear that anyone who persists in behavior contrary to this will be kicked and banned from the list. Here are some clear examples of the behavior I am talking about: - flaming or personally insulting other list members (including guilt-tripping others about their parenting methods) - inhibiting a clear understanding of anarchism by continually insisting that anarchism is "pro-capitalism" or "pro-chaos". - spamming the list with commercial advertisements To see the collection of prior postings to the list, visit the a-parenting Archives.
