Hunt, Gather, Parent Your Family (September 2023)

Ever since I first read Hunt, Gather, Parent by award-winning journalist Michaleen Doucleff, I’ve felt the urge to change the conversation. So much parenting advice feels cursory and performative. What if we could move past the quick tips model, explore the real challenges and triumphs of raising kids, and what’s behind our ideas about what it means to be a good parent?In many parts of the world, parents are raising families using traditional methods they learn from other parents, not from books or gurus. While we’re feeling pressure to optimize our interactions, they trust the wisdom they’ve learned from experience. With Michaeleen’s help, we’re going to start some real talk about what we can learn from these time-honored practices, and how to get back the self-confidence we’ve lost.In this episode, you’ll learn:How parents train their kids to be unhelpful, and the simple ways to start undoing that programming.Why a sense of purpose might be more important for little ones than feeling happy. Why we struggle to find parenting role models in our lives.How to do less without feeling guilty.   And much more! As always, thanks for listening.
