The final part of my review of Jordan B. Peterson's parenting advice from "12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos."

In this section, we finally get to Peterson's suggested rules for kids, a review of what 'minimum necessary force' entails, and his attempt to discredit modern parenting practices.

I realize I'm probably mostly preaching to the choir if you're already subbed to me, but maybe this video will help someone not yet convinced.

And to hopefully head off any comments: Yes, I am not a parent. I don't know what it's like. That's why the bulk of this video is based on empirical evidence with smatterings of personal experience.

I tried to capture P's tone in his discussion of "cliches." I am not intending to mock anyone besides him in those quotes.
