The Sovereign Child

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
