Listen "How about some bad parenting advice?"
Episode Synopsis
We’ve all heard it—unsolicited advice from family, friends, and even strangers that ranges from mildly annoying to downright harmful. In this episode, we break down some of the worst parenting advice we’ve received and share how these misconceptions can block us from getting the help our kids truly need. We’ll also give you a few cheeky phrases to shut down rude comments, tips on setting boundaries, and a good dose of inspiration to keep going despite the nonsense. Plus, we throw in a funny story or two to remind you: you’re not alone in this!
