Hello comrade families! I wanted to start a discussion about values in raising children, from infancy and toddlerhood. I think it’s safe to say that trying to get your 2 year old to understand Marx is a fruitless endeavor - they’re children after all! What I’m looking at for my 6 month old is trying to get her used to being around as many kinds of people as possible. Keeping things simple might be best for me for a while yet until she gets into school. My priority as a parent right now is to provide a loving atmosphere first and foremost, and to give my girl every opportunity to learn and connect with others. I saw some Reddit thread advocating home schooling for a Marxist family, but that sounds to me like a recipe for disaster, and far too insular for a growing mind to make formative experiences. So what are your plans? What do you think about schooling? Daycare? Life at home? Thanks all. Solidarity forever.

    I want to add to my recent comment: a lot of waldorf schools are shit. Definitely look into the specific one. It could be different depending on where you are from but at least in germany and autria there are some that don’t revolve around selfe education at all and suppress individualism like a normal school would.
