S5E4 - S05E004: Kids & Taking Initiative (Wilson… I’m Sorry!)

from Hey Other Parents: An Honest Podcast About Raising Kids

🎙️ S05E004: Kids & Taking Initiative (Wilson… I’m Sorry) This week, we’re talking about why kids struggle to take initiative—and whether we might be part of the reason why. From stepping in too quickly to structuring every moment, we explore how good intentions can accidentally take away the very opportunities kids need to figure things out on their own. Inspired by everything from Bluey to Cast Away, this episode is all about learning when to step back, let them struggle, and trust that they’ll get there—even if it’s uncomfortable to watch. 💬 Question of the Week What do you want to see your kids doing independently without being asked? 🔌 Parenting Unplugged Heit: Severance Season 1SaraD: Imperfect Women (Apple TV+)Levine: Anaconda 📢 Connect With Us 📞 559-LES-KIDS (559-537-5437)📧 [email protected]📷 https://www.instagram.com/heyotherparents 🎧 Episode Info This is S05E004 of Hey Other Parents Episode 72 — an honest discussion about raising kids.
