The Sovereign Child

In 'The Sovereign Child,' Aaron Stupple delves into the parenting movement known as 'Taking Children Seriously,' which posits that children's reasons, desires, emotions, and creativity are equivalent to those of adults.

The book challenges conventional wisdom on rule enforcement in parenting, suggesting that treating children as autonomous individuals can liberate both kids and their parents.

Using examples from his experience as a father of five, Stupple examines the harms of rule enforcement and presents alternative approaches based on this forgotten philosophy from the 20th century.
