I like the book "The Sovereign Child" by Aaron Stuple.
My best ideas from the book:
-
create safe spaces to learn on their own
-
safety vs. freedom/learning
-
guesswork as a reliable source of knowledge
-
all knowledge comes from within, knowledge is created, not consumed
-
childhood as a period of supported knowledge growth until a person is capable of solving life’s problems on their own
-
knowledge grows by guessing and testing, trial-and-error, conjecture and criticism
-
the necessary condition is freedom, where guesses and criticisms are encouraged and given a chance to work, and mistakes are never punished or shamed
