38. Modern parenting: Here's what we've misunderstood

They're all over social media; Funny memes with parents mocking modern parenting - showing the ridiculous ways that we as parents have become subservient to our children and scared to put a foot wrong. It's funny. And sadly true. In this episode I ask the question: How have we gotten here? And I offer my perspective on what many of us have misunderstood in the pursuit of giving our children a sense that they matter, that their feelings are valid and that they're unconditionally loved. Feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all?No wonder. Parenting is hard!
