Game Episode: Dr. Siggie Plays “Parenting Hill to Die On”

What’s your parenting hill to die on—and what are you willing to let go?

Dr. Siggie Cohen is back for a game of “Parenting Hill to Die On,” where Roxy throws her a series of everyday parenting dilemmas and Dr. Siggie has to decide: is this a battle worth fighting, or one parents should simply let go?

From kids refusing to wear a coat and quitting activities to bad grades, swear words, smartphones, and saying no to Grandma’s hug, Dr. Siggie weighs in on when parents should hold the line—and when giving kids autonomy matters more.

Along the way, she explains why not every uncomfortable parenting moment requires intervention, why some boundaries are non-negotiable, and how knowing which battles matter can help us raise more independent, resilient kids.

And yes, there are a few answers that might surprise you.
