Hey Hive account@kidtubu, I saw your article on the Voluntaryism Facebook page. It's difficult to determine what rights parents have "over" their children (in a manner of speaking) from a voluntaryist perspective.

We don't own or rule over our children. We are more like custodians or guides. And I think a guiding hand of discipline is what a voluntaryist parent needs to take. Rather than focusing on punishment, one should focus on teaching. Granted, I'm not sure how that would play out with infants and toddlers who may be too young to understand that sort of lesson.

I'm sure I'll have more concrete thoughts on this subject in a few years when my wife and I start having kids. But for now I hope my input has been at least somewhat valuable.
