8. Parenting lessons: Rigid expectations vs. guidance

In this episode, Matt and Kaz unpack some of the hardest lessons of being a parent. Kaz has been a mother for more than 30 years and over time with deep reflection she's learned that having rigid expectations of one's children can ultimately be detrimental to both child and parent. Today she believes in enforcing hard lines where morals and safety are concerned, then finding out what your children want to achieve and providing gentle guidance and advice - rather than dictating their future or deciding what 'holes' they do or don't fall into... Recorded at the Page family ranch on the beautiful NSW Central Coast of Australia, Love Conquers, is a no bullshit conversation about marriage, parenting, mental health, family business, and more.
