From 19:30

Inchildren’s House, we speak of Freedom and Discipline, in Primary this becomesFreedom and Responsibility.

In order fora young child to become who he is meant to be, a prepared environment thatfacilitates children in their free choices is needed. This comes with logicallimitations, thereby helping the child on the journey of becoming a logicalthinker.

 Freedom andResponsibility are interrelated, we cannot have one without the other – theymake a harmonious whole. If there is a lack of discipline, this can actually berelated to lack of freedom.

 Oftenfreedom is used as a reward (“if you do this, then…”), but this is not alwayshelpful, since it creates external discipline. When freedom is based onknowledge and choice, it aids the child in developing an internal guide, whichis a great support to the child’s overall functioning.
