Episode 297: The Myth of Good Christian Parenting
Marissa Burt and Kelsey Kramer McGinnis, authors of The Myth of Good Christian Parenting, shed light on the troubling history of Christian parenting advice. They discuss how the industry, rooted in figures like James Dobson, promotes harmful practices like spanking as a disciplinary norm. The duo critiques the hazardous language surrounding parenting and the implications of authoritarian teachings on child development. They also explore healthier, research-backed discipline methods and the cultural consequences of conventional Christian parenting beliefs.
