Listen Later

Welcome to today's episode where we share how we raise our kids with freedom and guardrails, letting early mistakes teach while holding firm on a few clear norms. We explain why we reject compulsory schooling, how we defused screen taboos, and how dinner and bedtime became calm again.

• freedom with guardrails as core principle
• mistakes as the path to knowledge
• critique of compulsory schooling and interest-led learning

• dinner as invitation not enforcement
• bedtime modeled by our own wind-down
• trust as the foundation for safety and honesty
