Highlights file: The Sovereign Child - Aaron Stupple
Parenting from the “Taking Children Seriously” tradition. My highlights: rules that come “out of the blue” feel arbitrary from the child’s side; surveillance is the opposite of trust; “I turned out alright” is no reason to impose the same conditions on someone else.
(Claude) A more radical cousin of Kohn’s “working with, not doing to”. Useful as a provocation about conduct points and monitoring apps; not an evidence base.
