Episode: Part Two: The Parenting Gurus of Nazi Germany
Joanna Harer's book argued that children are distractions, petty irritants and tyrants whose wills should be broken so they can be molded into society.
The German Mother and Her First Child.
The child is to be fed, bathed and dried off. Apart from that, left completely alone.
the child will quickly understand that all he needs to do is cry in order to attract a sympathetic soul and become the object of caring. Within a short time, he will demand this service as a right, leave you no peace until he is carried again, cradled or stroked. With that, a tiny but implacable house tyrant is formed.
From the first minute of life, everything was done to encourage the inability to have a relationship. Anything that promoted relationships was forbidden because the main goal was not to let the relationship between the mother or parents and the child arise in the first place.
Bottle feeding should never take longer than 10 minutes. Breastfeeding no longer than 20 minutes. If the child strolls or dawdles, feeding or breastfeeding should be stopped. There is no food again until the next scheduled meal. If the child is hungry by then, firstly it serves him well and secondly he learns that he will have to hurry up next time.
