Summary
This is one of my favorite episodes ever. Author and homeschooling parent Laura Blodgett joins me to discuss themes in her 52 Weeks to a Better Relationship with Your Child series. Even if you don't have children, I insist you listen -- there's an awful lot of wisdom in here.

| 0:00.0 | The Tom Woods Show, episode 1097. |
| 0:03.5 | Prepare to set fire to the index card of allowable opinion. |
| 0:08.1 | Your daily dose of liberty education starts here, the Tom Woods Show. |
| 0:14.3 | Folks, let's face it, the public school is the American church, and if you oppose it, you are an incorrigible heretic. |
| 0:21.9 | Well, I've written a free e-book for all you good heretics out there called Education Without the State. |
| 0:27.6 | Check it out at no-stateeducation.com. |
| 0:31.4 | Hi, everybody, Tom Woods here. |
| 0:32.6 | Very glad to be joined once again by Laura Blodgett. |
| 0:35.5 | She is a very, very productive person online. She's got several |

| 1:00.9 | now. Even if you don't have kids, I guarantee you you're going to want to know this stuff. |

| 1:15.0 | introduction? Anyway, of course we're going to hit on libertarianism and parenting, but in general, |
| 1:21.0 | I think there's just some good human interest observations we can make from our own experiences |
| 1:25.5 | with children and young adults in our lives, and the |
| 1:29.7 | kind of questions that come up, the self-doubt you sometimes have about what the right thing to do |
| 1:35.3 | is. So this is going to be a great conversation, I guarantee you. Laura, by the way, is a huge |
| 1:41.0 | supporter of the show. You will find her in the Supporting Listeners Facebook group, |
