Corrupt: The intention of this book is to award adult rights and privileges to my four month baby boy. I have alternative parenting ideas that often oppose my upbringing. I strive to do it right, free of external influences, conflicts, and questions.

Have you decided how you will corrupt your child?

Revolving Gender: After not cutting my son’s hair for nearly two years, he is more often called a girl than a boy. Why gender is used by society to validate a toddler’s role in this world is vexing. After teaching kids at all ages over the years, I have found that specific and stereotypical gender roles are extremely limiting. Shouldn’t it be that each child is allowed to decide for themselves in a natural and evolutionary way about their gender?
