In this episode, Sylvana and Eamon talk about the importance of treating their children as whole people, taking their thoughts and feelings seriously from the time they were born. They talk about the benefits of (alternative) school, about learning how to love being alone, about how you instigate and nurture a growth mindset, and why - although crucial to them - they think it’s too early to teach their daughters computer programming. It’s been quite a passionate exchange!
