Episode notes

Have you ever wondered why you parent the way you do?

Sometimes we do what our parents did because it's all we know and we turned out okay. But sometimes we do the opposite of what our parents did because, well, our experience wasn't ideal.

In this episode Brian and Katie talked about how neither of the two extremes of the parenting pendulum (authoritarian and permissive) are ideal, and some ways to think about what a healthy balance might look like.
