“What kind of children is Taking Children Seriously not a good idea for?”
That question literally means: “What kind of people should not be taken seriously?” Everyone should be taken seriously, irrespective of age.
Is there a particular group you have in mind when asking this question? Could it be that you are imagining Taking Children Seriously to be a different parenting strategy instead of a new view of children? Am I misunderstanding the question? Does the rest of the FAQ answer your question? Feel free to clarify the question if this answer is unsatisfactory.
