# 108: If you want a child who thinks for themselves, then...

from The Parenting Standard · host Priya Narthakii and Harry Goldberg

Imagine your child coming to you not because they have to, but because they know your advice actually works. They’ve bypassed the "best friend" AI and sought your counsel because you’ve built a bridge of mentorship, not just a safety net of love. In this episode, we explore the playground encounter that changed how we view a child’s "meaning-making" process. We’re breaking down how to stop the "Interruption Epidemic" and give your children the space to find their voice. It’s about humility, curiosity, and the realization that your child is a different person than they were yesterday. Join us as we unlock the secrets to building a relationship where your child feels safe enough to be honest and skilled enough to be independent.----------------------------Ready to turn this perspective into a skill?
