Alex Kopelman’s book focuses on how our children are born with an authentic self that gets socialized out of them. Through messages they hear from parents, classrooms, culture and beyond, children start to hide parts of themselves as a way to belong and survive. However, Alex also states that the change needs to begin with parents, or at least in a parallel process of dropping many of the “oughts and shoulds” of parenthood too. Listen in to learn more about the distinction he makes between just allowing a child to run wild and undisciplined versus encouraging them to be authentic while also learning how to get along with others.
