I love being a dad. It’s been the greatest gift of my lifetime.
But too often I grade myself in comparison to others and set myself against an idealized projection of what I imagine a perfect dad to be.
While I do my best not to repeat yesterday’s mistakes and interrupt the misguided patterns I’ve inherited from past generations, I still wonder… How can I be the best parent I can be?
This is the inquiry explored in today’s masterclass investigation, where I synthesize my thoughts with the most impactful and actionable advice from the parenting experts, psychologists, therapists, educators, and doctors who have graced the show over the years.
If you are a wrangler of young humans trying to make the right moves or just want to better understand why kids think and behave as they do, then this deep dive is appointment listening.
If the voices you hear speak to you, please consider going back to the original episodes to gain further insights from these amazing teachers. Many of the guests speaking about parenting have written valuable books that amplify their perspectives and philosophies. You can check out their respective episodes in the show notes.
While I can’t offer you a prescription for perfect parenting, I hope this primer has given you some perspective on how to parent more consciously.
My hope is that it serves you on your parenting journey.
