What are we not seeing underneath the surface? What are we choosing to see when we feel confused, rejected, angry, or exhausted? Being open, curious, and empathetic changes our lens.

Add a decent dose of relational neurobiology to this and we can see why kids are slowly turned off learning when educators are forced by policy or preference into an outdated "command and control" approach.

Shutting down agency for children has far reaching implications for their identity and sense of self, healthy relationships, decision-making and being active citizens. Probably what authoritarians want but not what future employers, friends, families or society needs.
