How do we raise children who can navigate life's challenges when our instinct is to protect them from every discomfort? We are not parenting experts, but Amanda is a parent and together we come up with some ideas for how we may be able to parent without losing our minds and falling into intensive parenting.

In this conversation, we tackle:

* The "harbor and ship" metaphor: how parents can provide a safe port while allowing children to venture into the world

* How our cultural fear of risk has limited children's independence and growth opportunities

* Why parenting choices are so much more scrutinized and criminalized for mothers than fathers

* How the erosion of community and third spaces has isolated parents and made raising children harder

* The cruel irony of a society that claims to value families while providing minimal support

This very nuanced episode offers a more balanced vision of parenting—one that acknowledges both the challenges of modern parenthood and the importance of allowing children to develop the skills they need to thrive.

WE ARE NOW ON SUBSTACK with bonus episodes, pep talks, episodes guides, and so much more! Join us at nuanceneeded.substack.com
