"People are not afraid for their children. They're actually afraid of their children." #shorts

Summer Jean is a grown-up unschooler who guested our podcast 'Self Directed'

Summer Jean's perspective reminds us that our fear as parents often stems from our own insecurities. We worry about what our children might become because we question our own worth and intelligence at our core. 😔

The idea of exerting control and forcing our children to conform stems from a belief system passed down through generations - a belief that if we don't control them, they'll be failures. But let's challenge this cycle.

When we look at the natural world around us, we see that everything unfolds according to its own nature without external authority. 🌿

Summer Jean encourages us to break free from the fear-based mindset. Instead, let's empower our children to embrace their uniqueness and trust their inner instincts. 🌟

Parenting is an incredible journey of growth for both child and parent. By letting go of fear and control, we create an environment where our children can thrive, knowing they are inherently valuable and loved. ❤️
