Episode Synopsis

Riva Kajangu explores the defining moment when true parenting begins in 'There is a Specific Moment in a Parent's Life When Parenting Kicks In.' The episode discusses how parenting is more than just the basic care of feeding, sleeping, and cleaning for a newborn. Kajangu proposes that real parenting starts around the age of three when a child becomes more expressive and parents need to balance their emotions while addressing the child's needs. He shares a personal anecdote to illustrate this point, emphasizing that true parenting involves self-control and understanding in challenging situations. This moment, he suggests, is a crucial test that sets the stage for future parenting challenges.
