Episode notes

Talking points: culture, parenting

One of the most informative fifty minutes I’ve ever recorded; and now that I’m a father of two, it’s pretty well timed! Grateful for Lisa’s insight, her years of experience, and her great sense of humor. This is the episode to listen to if you (like pretty much every parent) are looking for sound advice that you can act on literally right now.

(00:06:40) - How do we raise kids who like themselves? 

(00:11:22) - Timers: a great parenting “hack”

(00:16:25) - Ways of developing a more robust connection with your child, and the shift between raising a child, a preteen, and a teenager

(00:23:37) - How can parents help their kids build skills and develop competency?

(00:29:02) - The cost of perfectionist parenting, and what to do during tantrums

(00:44:35) - Do’s and don’t when dealing with teenagers
