In this week’s episode, I wanted to share my thoughts on “Modern Parenting”.
I take a deep dive into why today's gentle approach may miss the mark, and hear raw, real-life insights on discipline, failure, and family dynamics.
Join me for a no-holds-barred discussion that's as much about raising strong children as it is about building character in the digital age!
Key Points
• Kids need discipline and boundaries
• Failure teaches and strengthens
• Too much protection can handicap your child’s future
• Strong kids need various role models
• Technology should not replace real connection
