#223 - Richard Shorter - A Guide To Being The Parent Your Kid Actually Needs

Richard Shorter is the man behind Non-Perfect Dad, a parenting coach and conversation specialist.

Why are so many parents accidentally making things harder for their kids? What’s the cost of wanting success more than your child does? And how do you support without controlling, guide without pushing, and love without smothering?

Expect to learn what “being the adult in the room” actually looks like, why guilt and shame are still the default parenting tools, how overinvolved parents kill autonomy, what to do when your kid wants to quit, how social media is warping childhood, what role mentors should play, why modern parents are more anxious than ever, how to let your kids suffer in healthy ways, why emotional maturity—not perfection—is the real parenting goal, and much more.
