I see. If there is a book, I'd be more likely to get into it. I somehow can't sit down for hour long podcasts, yet a book is no issue.
It's not even that they wanted to be best friends, it's just that boundaries were not really part of the way a kid was supposed to learn. I should have asked him about it when i met him last time, as I only remember the interpretation from their annoying behavior from second-hand discussions with my parents. Sounds quite interesting.
At the same time, kids are so free these days in Korea that I feel like my kid needs a bit more discipline. One of his teachers told us we should not scold him for being impolite to her. Even though we could hear the bad words he was using when talking to her. How will he learn if neither the teacher or us tell him he should not be talking to adults like that? He's 5.
I have a pretty superficial understanding since I've only listened to this podcast. As I understood they try to raise the kids respectfully like how you would talk to other adults. If someone was being rude or being a dick you could just opt out. How they teach that? I'm not sure.
There was an example he gave of one of his kids licking every lollypop in the box. They just left it there for a few days and she never went back to it. So his kid came to her own conclusion that too much sugar makes you feel sick. Not because she was told so.
I think he's releasing a PDF version of the book for like a dollar in a week or so. I'll tag you when I see it.
