The key words of Mindly

Decision and autonomy
Autonomy is built within a clear framework, not through a lack of reference points. Decision-making is one of the skills in developing autonomy. When a child makes choices, they develop their self-confidence + learn to think for themselves + gradually take responsibility for their actions + strengthen their sense of responsibility.

Authority and authoritarianism
Authority frames in a fair and clear manner, while authoritarianism imposes without dialogue.
An authoritative adult allows the child to feel safe + understand the rules of cohabitation + develop autonomy and moral sense. An authoritarian adult, on the other hand, often generates fear, withdrawal, rebellion or dependence + prevents the student from thinking for themselves + creates a tense and uncooperative classroom or family environment.

"It's not fair!"
What this phrase "It's not fair" hides. When a child says "It's not fair", it is not necessarily a whimsical demand. It is often a spontaneous expression of frustration, misunderstanding, or emotional hurt. Behind "It's not fair", there is a need for fairness + a desire for recognition + a social comparison (often with other children) + sometimes a feeling of powerlessness.

Clear and supportive framework
A clear and supportive framework is a reassuring structure: explicit, consistent, and constant rules + a climate of respect and listening: the rules are not imposed rigidly, but set with educational intent and dialogue. The child needs limits to feel free inside.
