Roslyne, Thanks for putting so many hours and so much effort into what seems to be the only solution towards a better society. It all begins with the younglings.
Hi, I have no idea! I am pretty frustrated the video is not up yet. I talked to Sky and he said there was some problem with almost all the footage from Libertopia 2012 and they are working on it. In the meantime, my friend took a not-that-high-quality video of my talk that you can see on RoslynRoss.com (a totally undeveloped and unprofessional website thus far! I am focusing only on finishing my first booklet right now so this blog and that website are on pause). It's pretty hard to hear but if you have read my thesis--then you have "heard" my talk!
I came via your amazing Youtube video! Really excited to have found your blog, some incredible stuff to work through.
Robin Grille (I am sure you know of him? Australian psychotherapist and parenting person) reckons we are at the cusp of a "children's liberation movement" - that we are learning increasingly about this respect thing and one day it might become the norm.
Thankyou so much for your writing, I have been swinging between relationship parenting and job parenting for five years now, hearing so many different views and getting swayed by them all, this blog will help me to follow my heart to have the most loving and rewarding relationship with those little ones i love most,also with the big ones i love too. thankyou
Roslyn, thank you so much. This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. I am 34 now and fighting hard to heal from the trauma of having been brutally hurt and humiliated as a small child (I was 3 or 4 years old, forced through a medical procedure I had decisively refused, and put in terrifying full-body restraints for it, all while being verbally shamed) - with society's full approval, no recourse to ANYONE who could or would have protected me then or afterward, and my mother emailed me yesterday that she still thinks she was right. It's hard to be barraged by all that! Reading your blog feels like finally being able to take a huge breath of air. To hear you saying what I already know: that I had a right to safety, respect, love, and freedom, instead of the terror and hopeless pain I was forced through - is so healing to me. Thank you for believing in children's right to freedom and dignity! I can't wait to get to know the rest of your work better. -Ramona Herrera, Survivor of Childhood Torture
I feel so sad thinking about what you went through as a kid. I'm glad you were able to find some "fresh air" in my work. Hugs! (And sorry for the late reply I had no idea anyone had commented on this until recently!)
this is true! whole world is fake the real ones are only parents who always take care of his child, fulfills his/her need, always ready for his/her help and make them a successful person. we don't know what they were suffering from but they never show us this real love that only parents can give us.
Hello Roslyn, You have written very good blogs about parenting, and children. Thank you for such a informative blogs. I also watched your YouTube video "Raising Children is an Act of Philosophy". Thank you for sharing the information.

Here's hoping :)
That would be awesome. I would be in total support of a children's liberation movement.
