http://mormonstories.org/?p=956 Definitely one of my favorites ever.
“In this 4-part series I interview 3 super thoughtful, progressive LDS parents who discuss their perspectives on raising children in a non-traditional LDS home. When we say non-traditional in this context, we mean non-literalistic, non-dogmatic, unorthodox, unorthoprax, semi-believing and maybe even non-believing in some cases.
Over this 3.5 hour discussion we cover topics like:
— How to handle difficult primary songs and uncomfortable teachings with small children
— How to deal with baptism and priesthood ordinations as unorthodox members
— How to work through issues surrounding the young women and men programs
— How to “innoculate” your children against unhealthy church teachings and history
— How to handle issues of sexuality, and What to do about missions, marriage and beyond.”
Hope you enjoy!
I can’t wait to listen. Although I have raised my own family in a somewhat non-traditional format, four of my five children have TBM families. Two of them have strong non-traditional components., i.e., mostly a quiet New Order approach. I consider us the “Mormon family” of the future. Also, as a non-traditionalist grandfather, this Podcast will assist me. I’m very involved with all my grandkids. I am a cultural Mormon only. I push science, discovery, nature, reading & poetry. If they are off at school, emails keep us in touch. Even my 40 year old son gets epistles from his old man. I asked him recently if he even reads them. He said, “I never miss reading them. I was 30 before I learned LDS homes didn’t stock the books you left around our house. I read No Man Knows my History and Daddy Had Five Wives before I was twelve.” Good remembrances…
