Critiquing The Sovereign Child: Why Unchecked Freedom Endangers Our Kids

Are we raising a generation of children without boundaries?

In a world that increasingly prioritizes individual autonomy, many parents have embraced the idea of "sovereign children"—kids with complete freedom to make their own choices, free from discipline, structure, or limits. But is this approach truly empowering, or is it setting them up for failure?

In Critiquing The Sovereign Child, Mel Walden explores the unintended consequences of unchecked childhood freedom, revealing how the absence of guidance can lead to entitlement, anxiety, and a lack of resilience. Through research, real-life case studies, and expert insights, this book challenges modern parenting trends and offers a balanced perspective on fostering independence while maintaining essential structure.

This thought-provoking and timely book will challenge your assumptions, spark debate, and provide practical strategies for raising well-adjusted, responsible children in an era of ever-expanding freedoms.

If you believe that structure and guidance are just as important as freedom, this book is for you.

🔹 A must-read for parents, educators, and anyone invested in the future of our children.
