Episode notes

I don't think i know enough to say, but intuitively, it strikes me as somewhat absurd that we group together children all of the same age. You're inducing the kids to bring out the worst in each other. That assumption that you group by age seems barbaric. And how you treat your spouse or partner is more important than how you treat them. They will learn by example. Primary contributions tend to be genetic. But at the margin, family culture really matters. It's misleadingly called laketigramam parenting. Now, it's not my style, but it proves Parenting Style can work.
