from The Evolved Dad Shortcast · host The Evolved Dad
Are we raising our kids... or running experiments?In this raw, unfiltered rant, I’m calling out the obsession with parenting labels—gentle, authoritative, free-range, helicopter - you name it. We've boxed ourselves in trying to “pick the right style” instead of doing the real work: learning, adapting, and actually knowing our kids.This episode isn’t about tearing down ideas. It’s about freeing yourself from the need to follow anyone else’s blueprint.Because your kids aren’t lab rats.They’re your legacy.
