We discussed

- The overlap between kids and toddlers

- Setting boundaries

- Educating kids in animal literacy

- Safety and approaching animals right

- Nutrition

- Phobias and fears around dogs

 

Please show Ed some love via Facebook or Instagram by messaging him using #jointhepack and don’t hesitate to look him up if you’re thinking of getting an animal for your kids and you live in London. After the fun we had chatting about this topic, a little plug for his work is the least I can do!

I ask the kids about how they identify, where they come from and what they think about remembrance. The conversation is a bit stilted around remembrance as they’re still young. But still, their insights are pretty engaging.

 

The rant is a response to this article from the Independent.

Episode 10 - Adam Reakes Interview

 

This show took a while to produce! Apologies to listeners. 

Adam Reakes is a well-known voice in the skeptical, atheist and humanist communities and kindly gave up an hour of his time to record this interview. Theo and I crashed the spanking new podcasters’ booth in London’s Maple Street Studios (thanks again!) and chatted with Adam all the way from Australia. 

 

We cover a range of topics from Brexit to the future of Humanism as well as spanking kids and bizarre medicine cocktails.

A Humanist believes in doing good for its own sake, and defining what's right or wrong based on the context, time and culture, rather than referring our problems to a higher power. But without a shared book of ethical instruction, what do Humanists teach their kids?

 

In this podcast, I'd like to get better at having these discussions with my kids and hear from other parents. Let's make our kids' world a bit better, one conversation at a time.
