Paul Crebar on Parenting for our Planet

Paul Crebar, Production Manager from Renewfest.org.au (6-7 May 2017), among many other things, speaks about the potential for parenting as an investment in our future, rather than purely work. Paul quotes Dr Marion Rose: "Responding promptly to their physical needs and treating their bodies with love and respect means that they learn to respond promptly to their physical needs and treat their body with love and respect, and that loving respect then gets generalised so that they also treat other people’s bodies and the physical world with love and respect too."And discusses the work of Robin Grille, author of "Parenting for a Peaceful World" and "Heart to Heart Parenting".Paul would like to see a society that supports parents to spend the time needed with their children to raise them to secure and happy individuals, ready to support others, and the planet.Other references:* John Abbott from the 21st learning initiative: http://www.21learn.org* The Dunedin Study: http://dunedinstudy.otago.ac.nz/View documentary at: http://www.sbs.com.au/topics/science/humans/article/2016/05/24/exceptional-scientific-study-thats-been-going-over-40-years* John Campbell: "Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only doors."* Renewfest.org.au* Luminousyouth.comAired on 99.9 BayFM on Monday 24 April 2017.
