How Do You Know? The Human Capacity for Knowing

Answering Listener Questions on Self-Observation, Development, and Well-Being

What exactly is a developmental nourishment? Why does Natural Learning Relationships talk about fields of knowing instead of stages? How does self-observation emerge in children? And what do children have to teach us about justice? In this listener Q&A episode, Ba, Josette, and Brandy respond to questions from the community and explore some of the most foundational ideas in Natural Learning Relationships. From child development and self-trust to relationship, meaning-making, and the lifelong unfolding of human capacities, this conversation invites us to see both children and ourselves through a different lens.
