Ken Barish:

Thanks for the kind comments. As I have noted to Ali in a previous email, my book's (Unified Philosophy 3rd  edoton) chapter 1 presents a general theory of metaphysics (mereology). It then applies this in chapter 7 for authority, management, freedom, showing a general theory of sociology, psychology, involving person1-person2  interface.  Within that interface are subinterfces including those for parenting, government/cybernetics, management as narrowly defined, teaching, religion, testing, and so on. Medical, legal, and other professional interfaces come into play.

Best,

Michael M. Kazanjian

Michael,

This is an interesting perspective on parenting.  I will have to look into it and think about it.

Ali, Ken, and All:

Chapter 7 of my book, Unified Philosophy: Interdisciplinary Metaphysics, Ethics, and Liberal Arts, 3rd edition, Cognella,  is not specifically on parenting.  However, it is on management, authority, communications, freedom, applicable to government/cybernetics, parenting, pedagogy, testing, leadership, and communications:  person to person relations. 

Taxonomically, it involves:

       mere communications  or authority  (dictatorship, bad parenting)   parent never listens.   parent never spending time with child. 

       community based communications,    good parenting where the parent listens. 

       no communications,  only communications and no listening      bad parenting

      only community, no communications.        mere spending time with the child, no listening.

Best,

Michael M. Kazanjian

Ali,

I have several additional parenting books to recommend.

The Heart of Parenting by John Gottman, Ph.D. is a classic parenting book that presents Gottman's research on emotion coaching.

Michelle Borba, Ed.D. has written two recent books: Unselfie: Why Empathetic Kids Succeed in Our All-About-Me World  and Thrivers: The Surprising Reasons Why Some Kids Struggle and Others Shine.

I would also like to add my own parenting book to the list: Pride and Joy: A Guide to Understanding Your Child’s Emotions and Solving Family Problems.
