Many works on parenting and families wind up re-inscribing hierarchies by declaring how kids should be liberated. \u003ci\u003eTrust Kids!\u003c\/i\u003e insists on youth autonomy, listening to youth, and questioning adult supremacy on every page. At the heart of the book are conversations about all the ways that children can be included, loved, and cared for in more generative, just, and egalitarian ways. Its essays explore the liberatory potential of consent and autonomy in relationships among children, youth, and the adults in their lives. They also trace how oppressive attitudes toward children, far from being \"natural\" forms of kinship with the youngest members of our families and communities, have identifiable social and historical roots.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ecarla joy bergman\u003c\/b\u003e is an independent scholar, writer, podcaster, and mom.
