Ido Drent: Sleep deprivation and diving in the deep end

Jenny and Dayna are joined by another awesome dad guest this week! Some of you might remember Ido Drent as Daniel Potts from New Zealand's favourite soap opera, Shortland Street, or more recently from his roles on The Gulf and Offspring. In recent years, Ido has shelved his acting work to spend more time focusing on the tough but wonderful job of parenting alongside his wife Mandy – the chief memory maker of the family.  As you'll hear in this episode, Ido approaches the season that his young family is in right now with a lot of emotional intelligence and some great frameworks, and Jenny and Dayna love delving into that more with him.   Ido chats about setting family values, creating super cool childhood memories for his kids – and the paradigm shifts that parenting has brought to his life. He also talks sleepless nights, picky eating, letting go of ideals and stepping whole-heartedly into this magical but endlessly messy parenting gig!   Parents We’ve Met is brought to you by Parenting Place – a charity with a heart for New Zealand families.
