Are you a parent? Do you believe society would be better for a less punitive justice system and more focus on positive intervention, remediation and healing inter generational trauma? Do you want to make changes toward this future starting at home? If so, this is the parenting book for you! Parenting Beyond Power brings together the key elements of NVC, problem solving, unconditional parenting and social justice parenting to provide a way of being with children without resorting to the standard patriarchy and white supremacy perpetuating (power over) pitfalls of punishment & reward, coercion & shame etc. I found the content that spoke directly to healing damaging patriarchal, capitalist and racist systems (insidious in W.E.I.R.D. societies) super beneficial. I will refer back to this book often, and especially whenever I perceive a potential disconnect between my parenting and my values.
