Again, this is in stark contrast to the childhood inflicted upon millions of children by religions and their negative view of human beings, especially children.

God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything
pickA hard book to review because I see some faults in it (it‘s repetitive & sometimes contradictory) but I admire Gabor Mate and agree with everything he says regarding attachment and parenting. I love that he says ‘don‘t parent from a book - not even this one‘. He argues that we‘ve lost some of our natural instincts and because of this, & the way society is, kids have stronger attachments to their peers rather than adults which causes problems.
Starting this one today. This title isn‘t in the system so I used another of her books 🤷🏻♀️
so-soOnetime read, advice is easier said than done...
Half way through..
The real advice starts chapter 8 onwards...
"Blaming blocks positive change because it focuses you on finding fault instead of finding solutions."
