Episode #62 - The Collapse of Parenting by Leonard Sax - Part 2
from Gospel Matrescence · host Andie Davidson
In this episode, Andie summarizes the second half of "The Collapse of Parenting" by taking a deeper look into the formation of virtue and reason in a child's heart and mind. In his book, Sax argues that for thousands of years, parents knew that virtue must be formed through habit in the heart of a child, long before the child has the capacity of reason. However, in modernparenting methods, parents wait to see evidence of reason before they require or train towards virtue. Join the discussion and think through how you are forming virtue (or lack thereof) in your children!
