Listen in as Gill shares: 🌱Her experience on the delicate balance of granting our children the space to navigate their fears and the world at large. 🌱The spectrum of childhood "wildness" from mentorship to fostering autonomy. 🌱And we confront the crucial question: Are ideas of wildness and freedom more reflective of our aspirations as adults than the experiences of our children?
