S1 Ep.2 Independence Saves the Family Home

Shhhhh I have a secret.....guess what....separation and independence are not the same things. Your kids being able to leave you is not the same as independence. Independence is the way a child manages to move through this world, on their own. Without support. The foundations of this can only be built in the family home. You are the guider of independence and autonomy. 

Products or toys as we call them are the remover of independence. Every toy, you buy, takes time away from your children being integrated into the home. When they play with toys they are not cooking, when they are playing with water trolleys they are not gardening.....anything you buy takes away from independence. Those toy kitchens in fact make your kids less able to cook than ever before......
