Quick takeaways
- The decision to become a parent should be driven by genuine commitment to fulfill the child's needs and well-being, not personal gain or as a means to solve personal issues.
- Good parenting involves being attentive, emotionally responsive, nurturing, skillful, and self-regulated, recognizing the child as an autonomous being with wants and desires, and exercising parental authority wisely and with consideration for the child's individuality.

The Choice to Live Child-Free and the Importance of Deliberate Decision-making
Many people are consciously choosing to live child-free, a shift from historical assumptions. A Pew Research poll shows that 44% of non-parents aged 18-49 say they are unlikely to have children, with 56% citing a lack of desire. Making the decision to have children or not is crucial as surveys indicate that about 20% of parents regret becoming parents. This decision carries significant weight, as bad parenting can have long-lasting consequences for children. This episode explores the factors that contribute to being a good parent and whether parenthood is the right choice for each individual.
