Return home, Bearing Gifts and Justice in the Brothers Grimm’s “The Juniper Tree” Summary Pt. 6: (Clip)

The now gold-chained and red shoe shod little boy bird makes his way next to the miller’s.  He negotiates with them for their milling stone and returns home.  His family is having dinner, but his stepmother complains she feels unwell and has a sense of doom, in contrast to how the others feel.  Meanwhile in the courtyard, the bird sings his song and the father comes out and Marlinchen weeps.  The bird drops his possessions and at last, the stepmother comes out, and she receives the miller’s stone… 
Problem solved, the bird re-boys and the family returns to their dinner.

Singing for Red Shoes in the Brothers Grimm’s “The Juniper Tree” Summary Pt. 5: (Clip)

Burial & Rebirth and Acquiring Gold in Brothers Grimm’s “The Juniper Tree” Summary Pt. 4: (Clip)

(Graphic content warning) When Father is finished with seemingly unwittingly eating her brother, she takes his bones and buries them in courtyard under the juniper tree.  A great fire appears in the mist and a beautiful bird emerges, singing the tale of the murderous horrors that have befallen the boy.  The goldsmith hears and asks the bird to sing again, and the tweeter negotiates for a gold chain.

Father Feasts on Black Pudding: Brothers Grimm’s “The Juniper Tree” Summary Pt. 3: (Clip)

After her stepson’s decapitation, the mother makes black pudding with his body, seasoned with his sister’s tears.  Father comes home, and his wife tells him his son has left unexpectedly for an extended vacation.  He is dissatisfied, but he devours the pudding, not letting anyone else partake, commenting enigmatically, “It is all mine!” as he disposes of the bones beneath the table.

Unsupervised Play for Kids, Adversity, and Strength in Humans and Plants (Clip)

I recall Jonathan Haidt’s phone-free, free range children.  We link this idea of strength from adversity even to wine.  David Sinclair has talked about this hormesis. Even trees raised in a biosphere without winds to push them as they develop fall down.

Coddling – Helicopter and Bulldozer Parenting, and Rousseau’s Tyrant Child (Clip)

We talk about helicopter parenting and its unfortunate development, bulldozer parenting.  We relate these to Rousseau’s tyrant child in Emile.  Totally avoidable suffering.  (But you could say that about most things unwise – and that’s one reason we seek wisdom.)

Strength and Happiness According to Rousseau (Clip)

Rousseau talks about strength being important to happiness.  In Emile he writes how people can have compassion while being happy in their own good circumstances.  The vain, dependent boy we linked to helicopter and now bulldozer parenting.

The Vain Boy Raised on Praise, the Wannabe Tyrant (Clip)

The unsatisfied vain boy, wanting to be better than others because he’s been fed on praise.  Praising kids, are we feeding their vanity or upping their self-esteem? Going out into the world as a participating member of society, or a wannabe tyrant?
