Grow by Letting Go: A New Way to Raise Children introduces a groundbreaking approach to childhood development through what the author calls the Generative Theater. Drawing on the theories of autopoiesis, transpersonal psychology, and drama education, this book challenges the traditional view of children as empty vessels waiting to be shaped.

Grow by Letting Go: A New Way to Raise Children introduces a groundbreaking approach to childhood development through what the author calls the Generative Theater. Drawing on the theories of autopoiesis, transpersonal psychology, and drama education, this book challenges the traditional view of children as empty vessels waiting to be shaped. Instead, children are presented as living systems-self-organizing, self-regulating, and capable of generating meaning from within. Through vivid stories and years of hands-on practice, the author shows how drama becomes a transformative space where children can express emotions, test boundaries, and discover their authentic voices. Rather than measuring growth through benchmarks or performance, this approach emphasizes emergence: children grow by being seen, accompanied, and trusted. Practical frameworks such as the "Ten Moments of Growth in Theater" and the "Twelve Emotional Themes Across the Year" provide parents and educators with concrete ways to nurture resilience, responsibility, and empathy. Family co-performance and symbolic play are used to rebuild parent-child relationships, while teachers step back from control to become responsive witnesses to each child's unfolding process. Both philosophical and practical, this book speaks to parents, educators, and counselors who are searching for a gentler, more holistic way to support children. It is an invitation to let go of rigid control and rediscover education as a living process of becoming-where children are not molded into someone else's image,but accompanied as they grow into themselves.
