Anna Plechatá Krausová: Fewer gifts and more autonomy for children

Parenting is not about the number of gifts we give, but about the space we allow children to grow. Anna Plechatá Krausová, Rector of NEWTON University, reflects on this idea in an article published on Info.cz.

She argues that autonomy, trust, and the ability to make decisions are far more valuable than another toy under the Christmas tree. The text connects parenting with personal development and long term responsibility, showing how early autonomy shapes confidence, resilience, and attitudes toward learning and work later in life.

The article offers a thoughtful perspective on how to prepare children for a rapidly changing world through relationships rather than material things.
