Today, parents are more concerned about safety, which limits the freedom children have to explore and learn independently.

You need to let children struggle and deal with responsibilities to help them grow and gain wisdom.

As a parent, my primary job is to provide unconditional love to my children, allowing them the freedom to make their own mistakes and learn their own lessons.

I believe in being open and honest with my kids about anything they want to ask, and I think that’s the only way to be, even if they might not understand everything right away.

My parents gave me a lot of freedom during my childhood, allowing me to explore and develop my interests, which I believe was crucial for my success.

It's important to foster agency in children, allowing them to maintain their natural willfulness rather than conforming to overly domesticating influences.

Parenting has taught me the most about myself; it's the most challenging thing I've ever done, and there are nights I cry myself to sleep wondering what just happened with all the moods and personalities.

I prefer to raise children who are independent and capable of looking after themselves, rather than overly trained to rely on others.

I had a very optimistic viewpoint as a child, which was supported by the freedom I had to explore different interests and friendships.
