The great snow reprieve of 2014

Both Kelly and Christian had tests postponed today due to the snow storm.  It is coming down hard and it is very beautiful.  I love the snow, but we do not think the kids will get back to school until Monday.  This is the view out our front door as it continues to come down hard:

Sweden’s generation of bad kids

Day 905 of 1000

There is a totally fascinating article in the Wall Street Journal today about how Sweden has legislated themselves into a corner with respect to how they raise their children. It is against the law to spank children in Sweden now and the attitude that goes along with that appears to be bearing fruit against which the adults in the country are starting rebel.  Swedish psychiatrist David Eberhard wrote a book about it whose title translates to How Children Took Power. I think this is definitely happening here in the United States, too. Sweden is prospering economicly because they have started to dump some of their liberal economic ideas.  Here is hoping they start dumping their liberal social obsessions, too.  Maybe there is still hope for Sweden.
