## Resource

In this repeat episode we talk about what defines good parenting—and how do you know if you’re actually doing it right? In those first ten years, we felt like we were getting an A+: the routines, the structure, the feeling that we were showing up and doing everything we could. Even though it was physically and mentally exhausting, there was a sense of control and purpose. But parenting evolves as kids get older. The job shifts from managing every detail to sharing the responsibility, letting them make their own choices, and moving into more of a coaching role. Because parenting isn’t a straight path—it’s the ultimate freight train ride, and you’re just trying to hold on through every twist, turn, and unexpected stop. Hosted on Acast.
