Tbf, that was an extremely ugly wall decoration
It's an "R"
Children's books are a great idea, I have also thought about this for quite some time. Currently at least one wonderful gal is undertaking a project in the folklore genre . She has a fundraiser, it was posted above by Grossly Incandescent. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/launch-kinder-tales-european-culture-for-kids-books#/
Carolyn Emerick's project, I believe...
I homeschool, so I have had a lot of experience so far with sifting thru poz and finding good books.
especially this year as we are starting History. I am going to reference March of the Titans by Arthur Kemp ( history of the White race) alongside the more mainstream 'Story of the World'
for our childrens' history lessons
Ostara publications also has some great non-PC history books
I used to be concerned kids wouldn't develop social skills but people have been telling me that's pretty false since there is so much free time to take them anywhere. I hope I can homeschool my kids.
oh yeah it is a commie myth that homeschooling makes kids socially awkward
@Freiheit - CA I hope so too
It is not easy, and yes it tries my patience at times, but I wouldn't trade it for anything else atm
It is pretty amazing to teach and learn with your kids. It is mind blowing how much potential is in a homeschool education vs. public school, which as we know- teaches to the lowest common denominator
in many areas homeschool kids *can* take some classes at their local public school as well, if one shoudl choose to do that for their child
Yeah, I don't want to put my kids through the hand holding for the dumb kid.
normie FB has tons of resources and homeschool groups for networking
yes, I mean, when I look back at my elementary education of ancient Egypt, for instance- it's just mummies and King Tut and some pyramids... LOL ... SO much important and fascinating history and science, etc, just gets skimmed over . It is disappointing. Homeschooling is such an adventure and you have the freedom to make education fun, meaningful, and thorough...
I'm definitely having my kids Read/watch The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
HAHAHA
i regret not reading the books with our oldest before letting him see a couple of the movies... 😦
You can't really argue with how nationalist it is
very implicit
It's Peak Identity Politics
When I think about it, watching those movies when I was younger may have shaped my views
Movies are alright, I prefer to imagine how they talk and interact.
In most cases I'd agree. but seeing as how I lost my copy of the fellowship on a plane when I was 10 or so, reading never worked out lmao
and the movies are masterfully made, so I'm ok with them
What's the earliest age you can start lettting your son watch UFC? 😃
day 1
Feckin A
Watch it from day one and start training when he can walk save weights until he is at least 13 though.
I no longer recommend Jien Liedloff's book, "Continuum Concept" @@missliterallywho I read it about 10 years ago. I think its bs tbh. I totally agree with living by the rhythms of nature but that book is very questionable imo
Birth control pills are definitely awful. Using natural fertility awareness is ideal. It has always worked for us. Intentionally conceived 3x with no accidents and our children are spaced by 3.5 years+
So plenty of time for extended breastfeeding and allowing me time to recover and revitalize before conceiving again. I love that you're on this track!
What I dislike about Continuum Concept is that i feel like it is in some ways anti-White, and also her observations of childbearing within the primitive South American tribes are put on a pedestal, disregarding European tradition, and I feel like for us we need to find a balance when seeking nature/rhythmic lifestyles, bc we generally lack resources for our own historical info- many aspiring Whites tend to internalize what literature and research that does exist- being that of "indigenous" tribes of the globe. While some of it can be of use, I find that deep down, much of it doesn't resonate as it once did, simply bc it it doesn't represent our folk ways.
If you do decide to read the book I will look forward to seeing what you think of it 😀
Tbh it's been a long time since I read that book, but I think some of her accounts are extreme and unrealistic. Such as relaxing and trusting your crawling baby near a cliff edge. Lol. There is some questionable stuff in there about interacting with babies and if I remember correctly-sexuality stuff that was a major red flag. Regarding the continuum concept, i do think there is a balance to be struck. Hovering parents can be detrimental. We have always tried to allow as much physical freedom as safely possible with our developing children such as tree climbing, exploring water, etc. and it has benefited them in their agility and confidence and mental faculties. But I don't think her book contributed to our patenting style whatsoever, it was more of just observing our children, intuiting and bri g present to immediately step in and help and guide and teach when needed. It is bizarre sometimes to see some parents at the park, for instance. It's like, here they are at the playground and they are instructing the child's every last move. Let's do the slide now, let's swing now, climb on that, do this, no that's too big for you, that's scary, etc. The child is not getting to experience anything for themselves.
i agree! well said!
i look forward to your fresh take on the book after you read it.
