Summary

Are you tempted to be a helicopter parent? Or maybe a snow plow parent? Have you ever considered the damage that these parenting methods may cause for your children? In this bonus episode, Keith and Patrick discuss how to be a better parent by debunking three, common parenting myths: Myth 1: Safety is your kids' greatest need. Myth 2: What doesn't kill you makes you weaker. Myth 3: Prepare the path for your child. What if you took a different approach? What if, instead, you saw parenting as a way to prepare your children to leave your house someday? If you live in the Columbia, Missouri area, we hope you’ll join us in person.

0:41.9	Patrick and I come from completely different experiences and
0:45.1	our kids are really different ages so I'm not even sure we fully agree on this do we
0:51.2	Patrick? I think we've got some agreement, but probably not entirely.
0:55.4	You know, like Keith was saying, I'm coming from a different perspective than him.

1:01.4	I still remember when my three-year-old Iris turned one, she started
1:04.8	walking and without even thinking about it, I just started hovering over her. I wanted to make sure that

1:13.7	and she wasn't going to break something fall over hurt herself in any possible way.
