All roads begin with the first step. All the big things in life are made up of thousands of little things. All good parenting begins with teaching, training, and instilling hundreds of little things as habits.
Thank you for reading Von’s Substack. I would love it if you commented! I love hearing from readers, especially critical comments. I would love to start more letter exchanges, so if there’s a subject you’re interested in, get writing and tag me!
Being ‘restacked’ and mentioned in ‘notes’ is very important for lesser-known stacks so… feel free! I’m semi-retired and write as a ministry (and for fun) so you don’t need to feel guilty you aren’t paying for anything, but if you enjoy my writing (even if you dramatically disagree with it), then restack, please! Or mention me in one of your own posts.
If I don’t write you back it is almost certain that I didn’t see it, so please feel free to comment and link to your post. Or if you just think I would be interested in your post!
If you get lost, check out my ‘Table of Contents’ which I try to keep up to date.
Thanks again, God Bless, Soli Deo gloria,
Von

Just plain Rivka and I had a fun discussion about parenting. She is an advocate of ‘Gentle Parenting’, so I called my philosophy ‘Woodshed Parenting’ for contrast.
Woodshed Parenting: Laying out some of the foundations of proper parenting.
Learning in Silence: An exegesis and defence of ‘Children Should be Seen and not Heard’.
Upside Down Discipline: The woodshed creates tough, moral children.
Parthenogenic Parenting // Podcast Version: What is the role of the father in parenting?
Woodshed Discipleship : Teaching, Training, Punishment, and Pushing.
