Episode 3108:

Leo Babauta argues that the discipline most of us grew up with teaches children the opposite of compassion, and that modeling kindness at home is how the next generation learns it. He shares what drew him to non-coercive parenting and to the practice of finding a common preference, so that neither parent nor child has to lose.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://zenhabits.net/on-compassion-towards-our-children/

Quotes to ponder:

"What the friend needs is compassion, a gentle hug, a receptive ear, someone who understands and feels his pain and wants to end his suffering."

"And yet when our children are upset, we often do the opposite: we do not listen or seek to understand or feel their pain or seek to end their suffering."

"You do that by considering alternatives until you find an option that both parties are happy with."
