Debunking the Myth of Child Autonomy


Listen Later

Should we teach children to listen to their internal impulses? Many parenting influencers and voices would say, "Yes!" But as we explored last week, autonomy is a highly esteemed value in American society, so it's no wonder that parenting is one area of culture where this value will rear its head. In this episode, Brett and Erin react to a video about child autonomy from the busytoddler, a parenting influencer on Instagram. The busytoddler says that children should "do whatever is best for their body." But is that a biblical idea? Brett and Erin continue the conversation about autonomy from last week and unpack how these ideas about child autonomy have seeped into modern parenting advice.
