Honestly: What’s the Best Way to Raise Good People? A Debate
www.thefp.com
There is no subject—not Trump, not abortion, not immigration, not taxes-–that is more contentious than the one we tackle today: parenting. This subject has particular urgency because my wife is pregnant! As are two of my producers. But you don’t need to be pregnant to be curious about the following: What is the right way to raise kids who become good, responsible, kind adults? Can we blame our problems as adults on our parents? Or do parenting styles not really matter? Is it nature that determines just about everything? That–and a thousand more questions–are what we discuss on today’s show.
Overall, good podcast. One thing I think that is often overlooked is that each kids is different. Some kids you can get by with gentler parenting methods (at least most of the time). Other kids are a bit more hard headed.
There's no one side fits all that works. Because everyone is different, and every situation is different.
One day we get ready in the morning right away, the next morning it takes an hour and it like pulling teeth.

You have to adapt as a parent.
