Kevin Geary believes that both praise and punishment are crippling kids. The host of Revolutionary Parent Radio joins me to discuss how he arrived at his unconventional approach to parenting and teaching and what it looks like in practice. The idea that kids can, will, and want to reason and be treated like actual autonomous humans deserving of respect and honesty isn’t so radical on its face, but it’s so rare in practice it’s come to be viewed as radical. Kevin walks through some of the critiques and responses in this awesome, engaging episode.
