What have Jayson and Ellen learned after 17 years of parenting? They share why parenting is downstream of partnership, what it means to be a team as parents, and how to validate your child’s feelings while still setting boundaries. They also explore why all feelings are welcome but not all behaviors are, how offering too many choices can overwhelm kids, and why letting children lead play matters. They close by talking about parental leadership and what it means to surrender to the parenting experience. If you are raising kids and want a more grounded approach, this episode is for you.
