I've thought a ton about parenting over the past ~7 years, and here's what I've mostly settled on as my "parenting philosophy"... Epistemic status: variable confidence on the different points, attempt to do a very basic breadth-first pass of things that seemed important to me.

One example which isn't super deep: I think minarchism is a pretty starting point for what parents ought to do: keep the peace, enforce properly rights, manage foreign relations, and be available for dispute resolution.

For the record I should have said monarchism is, IMO, a good starting point for the things parents should enforce with force (if necessary), not do.

I have some intuition that toys belong more to the person who plays with them more, regardless of who initially owned them. And I may moralizing a little in that direction. But I wouldn't ultimately enforce it, because it would make my kids less likely to share their stuff.

I'm not sure I'm doing a great job describing it, but there's a way I automatically think about rules in terms of what they incentivize and what the enforcement costs will be. I think it's a useful mindset. (Lots of people seem to think this way, but not everyone.)
