Aaron Stupple, author of The Sovereign Child: How a Forgotten Philosophy Can Liberate Kids and Their Parents, joins Bridget for a discussion of a parenting philosophy that tosses out the rulebook and embraces kids as creative, knowledge-hungry mini-humans. From turning teeth brushing into a sugar-bug-smashing game to letting kids opt out of arbitrary rules, Aaron argues for problem-solving over control, drawing on Carl Popper’s ideas about knowledge creation. They cover why screens are a parenting superpower, how to raise free thinkers without coercion, the “because I said so” approach, and why defiance might just be your kid’s secret weapon.
