Those kids who 'do what they want' no matter what you try to teach them -- first, why would they want to do things that are harmful to them? What unmet need do they have? When a kid doesn't care about their own safety, and doesn't listen to his parents' concerns, that's a kid who doesn't feel his parents understand him, where he is right in that moment.
Probably because we live in a "feel good" generation, where all alot of people want is to feel good regardless of the consequences or if what they are doing is harmful or not. Some kids don't want to listen to their parents concerns, even if they have understanding parents. Are you telling me you have never seen this??

Never seen it in an unschooling family.

See it ALL the time in traditional, conventional, mainstream households
where the children are neither trusted nor respected.
