257. The Right to Play: An Interview with Eloise Rickman
What does it mean to be adultist? Do children have a right to not brush their teeth\u2026 or the right not to have cavities? Eloise Rickman joins the show today to discuss her new book, \u201cIt's Not Fair, Why It's Time for a Grown-Up Conversation About How Adults Treat Children.\u201d
We have a big juicy conversation about human development, education, societal structures, lived experiences, and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
If you\u2019re looking for absolute answers, then this episode isn\u2019t for you. But if you want to hear three homeschool moms discuss how they find the daily balance between guiding children and listening to them, you\u2019re in the right place.
