Episodes
Of curious women and dead cats
There’s one especially strange and disturbing character that pops up in religion and folklore around the world and throughout history: the curious and disobedient woman. It’s one example of a cultural trope you’ll need to push against if you want to raise curious kids, especially girls.
The curious root of everything
Could I find one core value at the center of my parenting? I was curious.
Useful monsters (Fear pt 2)
When parents invent monsters to scare their children safe, it comes at a cost.
Beyond fearthought (Fear pt 1)
Don’t assume your kids know they have the freedom to think. You have to make the invitation clear.
