#16 - Taking Children Seriously, with Sarah Fitz-Claridge

Christofer and writer Sarah Fitz-Claridge speak about Taking Children Seriously, a non-coercive educational philosophy, in this episode of Do Explain. They discuss creativity and fallibility, why Taking Children Seriously is not passive parenting, psychological coercion, parental authority, Popper's bucket theory of mind, keeping your child safe, problems with school, common objections to Taking Children Seriously, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and other related topics.

Sarah Fitz-Claridge is a Popperian writer, editor, coach and speaker with a background in Psychology and an irrepressibly optimistic, freedom-oriented world view. She started the journal that became Taking Children Seriously in the early 1990s and is currently working on her book on the subject.
