Your Kids Don't Need More. They Need You
Episode notes
This week, we’re talking about something a lot of families probably need right now: a life audit.
When did giving our kids a good childhood turn into expensive birthday cakes, elaborate tooth fairy visits, constant vacations, name-brand everything, and feeling like every little moment has to become an event?
We get into the pressure parents put on themselves to constantly provide more, how easily that can create entitlement without us realizing it, and why social media and comparison have made simple things feel like they’re somehow not enough.
From $200 birthday cakes and Disney cruises to homemade costumes, $2 tooth fairy bills, and family movie nights, we ask a bigger question: what are our kids actually going to remember?
Because chances are, it won’t be how much we spent.
It’ll be the effort. The traditions. The conversations. The nights we showed up.
Maybe our kids don’t need more.
Maybe they just need more of us.
