Jay’s Must Listens: What Every Parent Needs to Hear Right Now—How to Raise Confident & Emotionally Strong Kids (Ft. Dr. Amen & Kim Kardashian) | On Purpose with Jay Shetty | Podwise
This episode explores the multifaceted challenges and rewards of parenting, drawing on insights from various experts and celebrities. Against the backdrop of the overwhelming amount of parenting advice available, the discussion highlights the importance of focusing on teaching rather than punishing children, emphasizing the creation of a safe and supportive environment. More significantly, different parenting styles are examined, contrasting permissive, authoritarian, and authoritative approaches, with an emphasis on the latter's balance of sensitivity and firm boundaries. For instance, the analogy of being a "dog" (highly attentive) with younger children and a "cat" (present but less intense) with teenagers is used to illustrate the dynamic nature of parent-child relationships. The episode further delves into the complexities of managing mom guilt and maintaining presence amidst busy careers, as exemplified by Kim Kardashian's experiences. Ultimately, the podcast underscores the universal struggles parents face, regardless of their circumstances, and advocates for open communication, presence, and a focus on building strong, loving relationships with children.
