Summary

In this episode, we tackle listener questions on parenting, emotional health, and relationships. I reflect on the ethics of recording personal moments with my daughter Izzy, discuss the "cry it out" sleep training method and its emotional implications, and critique a listener's matchmaking experience that prioritized altering preferences over genuine connection.

We also explore the fine line in peer banter, the importance of moral clarity in dating after 50, and the challenge of discovering passions in one’s late 20s. Lastly, I address nurturing resilience in children facing adversity and the effects of early family dynamics on insecurity. This episode highlights the need for empathy and self-reflection in our interactions.

All right, everybody, hope you're doing well.

Thank you for your great questions at freedomain.locals.com.

And let's get straight into it.

0:09.8

Would you consider posting a walk-and-talk with Izzy?

0:11.9

It would be great to hear an example of a relaxed and mirthy conversation with you and her.

0:16.1

A walk-and-talk?

0:17.7

Interesting.

0:18.3

I mean, obviously, I'm not saying that you're suggesting this, but I wouldn't

0:21.5

record her without her permission. So, it's interesting. It's a thought. It's a thought. It's just that if we're

0:29.3

just having a walk-and-talk, then it probably will feel a bit odd if we were recording it for a show, but

0:34.9

just talking about it ourselves. And if it was not, and and of course I wouldn't do it surreptitiously.

0:41.1

So I don't know that that's going to happen, but it's an interesting idea.

Hi, Steph.

It says, this lady, a bit nervous with this one, but I've been sitting on it for a while.

0:49.8

In a live stream, you mentioned that not responding to a crying baby is not healthy for that baby. You then provide the caveat that crying it out for sleeping is the exception to this rule and

0:58.7

then gave an example about Izzy and her poor sleep and that it's okay to let a baby cry it out

1:02.0

as the only exception to the rule and that Izzy is just fine and has no lasting health

effects from it. I think this is a blind spot for you in a way that spanking is for many other people.

1:12.3

The research on crying it out for babies says that there are several potentially concerning

effects. One of them is increased cortisol which we know can impact brain development, IQ and

1:21.6

emotional regulation. Another, arguably more important issue is its potential effects on attachment.

There are two possible outcomes with crying it out.
