About this episode

Folks practicing respectful parenting often want their kids to attend non-punitive schools. But due to the slim pickings, kids can end up at a school where threats, punishments and other coercive methods to control children into obedience are commonplace. Today I’m talking about alternatives to the kinds of punitive measures that are often used in traditional school communities.

Project Parenthood is hosted by Dr. Nanika Coor. A transcript is available at Simplecast.
