#1811 The Perfect Parent - Dr. Sam Casey

I'm not a parent (so take this with a grain of salt) but I'm pretty sure that 'perfect parenting' is not the best or most realistic goal. In this chat, Dr. Sam and I discuss the pressure, expectations and demands (internal and external) around parenting in 2025, the 'thriving formula' for different kids, my very low-tech (no tech?) childhood compared with kids growing up never having seen a cow, walked in a forest, ridden a bike or played in mud, whether or not kids are more fearful now than a generation ago, the challenge of raising resilient, capable, adaptable kids and lots more. Enjoy.
