Summary
We keep saying kids are getting worse. But what if that's not the real issue? In this episode, I'm sharing a pattern I've been noticing—what I'm calling "pacifier parenting." Not parents pacifying kids… but parents pacifying themselves. From avoidance to inconsistency to explosive reactions, we're going to talk about what's actually happening—and why it matters. This isn't about blame. It's about awareness.
