The Best We Can

In episode 7, we compare the experiences of raising an only child versus multiple children and discuss the uniqueness of raising boys. The conversation expands to address gender expectations, balancing emotional intelligence with raising resilient boys, and the challenges of co-parenting with differing philosophies. We also explore how modern-day access to information influences parenting and the constant worry parents face as their children grow older, especially as the mother of black boys and young men. This episode's Tap In or Tap Out? features a listener's dilemma regarding setting boundaries with an estranged father who wants to reconnect with his daughter and grandchildren, prompting a heartfelt discussion about forgiveness, healing, and establishing boundaries.Tap in with [email protected] Chapters:00:00 Welcome to Tap In with Tiffany01:00 Parenting: Only Child vs. Multiple Children04:53 Gender Expectations and Realities11:22 Balancing Emotions and Masculinity19:28 Unexpected Parenting Challenges25:04 Navigating Parenting Challenges with Girls27:31 The Anxiety of Raising Black Boys31:28 The Impact of Social Media on Today's Youth34:16 Balancing Parental Guidance and Independence35:49 The Complexities of Adult Children Relationships40:48 Tap In or Tap Out?: Setting Boundaries with a Hurtful Parent50:07 Conclusion and Farewell Hosts: Dr. Tiffany Darby, Dr. Tiffany Monroe-Hurd, Dr. Tiffany Hairstonhttps://www.instagram.com/tapinwithtiffany/[email protected] Produced By: Lumen Vision Sound  www.lumen-vision-sound.com/podcasts
