Will save this for later listening (still on holiday in a tiny one bedroom apartment with my mother and all the kids which does not allow for easy podcast listening....:) You'd love witnessing the free-range child raising that is happening here in Switzerland. I was just at a park this week where a small five year old climbed a tree to the very top branches and not a single adult raised an eyebrow and called out a word of warning. He simply climbed down again when it was time to leave. Will save your piece to share later :)
I thought the essay was already so thorough and helpful in bringing together related threads, so this conversation was the icing on top.
Thank you so much, Haley! I'm glad you thought it added something. There are so many related topics, I feel like I could talk on this forever.
