Thank you, @creativwoman! It is so interesting that respecting a child's freedom is actually a revolutionary approach in this day and age. But as we say, the "normal" model of parenting isn't working - children are sadder and potentially more broken than ever, and they grow up to be sad, weak, broken adults.

@quinneaker shares another way, and his approach to parenting guides children to be happy, healthy, inspired, empowered, and responsible. It is AMAZING to see this!! It would be so awesome to have a whole generation of thriving children grow up to be thriving adults!

Life as we know it will significantly shift if it becomes the norm to truly honor and respect children.
