Dr Siggie Cohen on being the parent

from Standard Issue Podcast Hosted by Standard Issue

Many parents are moving away from the more authoritarian ideas of previous generations. But is it possible so-called “gentle parenting” has passed the point of being useful? Dr Siggie Cohen, a leading child development specialist, Instagram sensation, and author of new book You Are the Parent: Becoming the Calm Confident Leader Your Child Needs, thinks there is another way. Jen chats to Dr Siggie about the concept of over-parenting, why it can be damaging to our kids, and why owning our own shit helps us to be better parents.
