Part 1: Your initial thoughts
* How should kids be parented?
I feel like i can't really give a correct answer to this question since my answers are probably based on how i was raised as a child. But looking at those thoughts i feel that a child should have room to explore on their own since they are their own individuals, and i shouldn't really control their lives of what to like and dislike. I think children should be introduced to many different things when they are still developing and on a equal amount so they would not favor one over another because they were influenced more by it.
Children should spend equal time with their children and not spoil the child so that he/she always get what they want. I feel like there should be a balance to how much love the parents give the child and how much restrictions a kid should have. They shouldn't have too much but they should have to little, i think being in the middle of the togetherness and the individuality pulls is the best thing for a child to have.

* What should be the social arrangements? An extended family, nuclear family, a village, corporate day care?
Kids should first get to acknowledge their parents first before and other social interactions since they are the ones they are closest to in this world and will spend most of their early life with. I disagree with and kind of day care because it roots the child's brain and influenced them to other in a early age, and will train them to be corporate robots. Children should be influenced little by their relatives and as they grow older they should start and expand their horizon and seek new friendships and bonds but not get to attached to them.

* What should be the guiding principles? Love? Obedience? Loving obedience? Humor? Empowerment? Subordination? Time outs? Separate cribs or co-sleeping? Breast feeding or bottle? Child-centered or parent-centered? etc.
I don't think their should be one guiding principle since in this world kids need to experience more than on main thing, they need to explore on their own and with others, they need to be taught and have room to self learn.
Stuff like timeouts are just a waste since their superiority don't last long, and beating a child hurts their bodies mentally in the long run. I think that

* What were the best parts of how you were parented (since the worst parts don't really belong in a public class blog)?
I don't really know the best parts of how i was parenting since i don't want to judge how my parents did it since i would start having doubts about how i was raised.
But if i had to pick one i would say that my parents didn't believe in that many punishments like physical or mental (like time outs)

* How do you think you'd parent if you're put in that position?
I think i would treat my child in the same way since i don't think that timeouts or physical punishments would do the child any good, i believe that there are better ways like telling the child and restricting them (not grounding) in some ways are the way to raise a kid.

* Do you think babies should be treated more like adults or like puppies?
I think babies shouldn't be treated in the middle between an a adult and a puppies since they are still humans but don't function and think like a corporate puppet like an adult.

* Do you think parenting will "come naturally" or do you think you'll have to research multiple perspectives and come up with a (possibly evolving) model in collaboration with other family members? Did your family read books about how to parent you or do informal research such as talking to other family members?
I believe that parenting doesn't come naturally since in this society we learn our parenting skills from our parents and would treat our kids like how we are treated and we would just exclude what we thought was good or bad. I don't think getting advice from books is a really good idea since those are corporate ways to raise a kid but ways to raise a kid should be from family and friends and not people you don't know.
