Trying to do this ourselves. It's certainly harder when they're younger, as you can't really have conversations of reasoning and have to make top down decisions for safety a lot. That being said once they're older, say 4-5 we will certainly be turning to conversation and reasoning with their reasons held in high regard. Let them lead their day as much as possible if you don't have strict schedules or obligations tying you up that day. You might also like to look into the montessori education style, to use at home, if a Montessori school isn't an option. Basic stuff, live as an example, share your reasons for your way of life and philosophy. You might like books such as "The modern school movement: anarchism and education in the United States" if you're from the states, and "the universal declaration of human rights: an adaptation for children"

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!
Rules:
- Be respectful
- Don't be a nazi
- Argue about the point and not the person
- This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.

This is exactly what I was hoping for, thank you! Assuming they aren't also an anarchist, how did you bring this up with your partner?
My partner is a democratic socialist (not a socdem) and is very open and an ally. I'm actually a Mutualist getting into the nitty gritty but still. We both stay open and realize when revolution happens we probably wouldn't get either of our "perfect" ideals anyway so give and take as with everything else in the relationship, although very similar.
