Episode Synopsis

In this week’s episode, I wanted to share my thoughts on “Modern Parenting”. I take a deep dive into why today's gentle approach may miss the mark, and hear raw, real-life insights on discipline, failure, and family dynamics. Join me for a no-holds-barred discussion that's as much about raising strong children as it is about building character in the digital age! Key Points • Kids need discipline and boundaries • Failure teaches and strengthens • Too much protection can handicap your child’s future • Strong kids need various role models • Technology should not replace real connection Best Quotes 00:00 - 00:05 • "Modern parenting is failing. And the worst part is most parents don't even know why." 00:55 - 01:05 • "Children are born and challenge constantly, but if we allow them to constantly cross the line and don't set appropriate boundaries, then children don't know how to act." 01:43 - 01:55 • "If a child does not listen or hear some of the most important things, they are at risk for getting themselves in trouble or doing something that could hurt them." 06:19 - 06:25 • "Parents are making themselves the main character in the story. 07:27 - 07:42 • "Now being in the generation that we had immense freedom in the, in the, the early high school years and into college, I mean, I did so many things that my children did not and do not do, and I don't want them to repeat those things." 09:15 - 09:20 • "Frederick Douglas said It's better to build strong children than to repair broken men." 14:13 - 14:20 • "At the end of the day, parenting is imperfect. I understand that. And everybody that's a parent understands it." 14:21 - 14:29 • "Every single child will look back on their lives and understand that their parents did the best possible job they could. Hopefully."
