Show Notes

Dr. Roger McFillin explores a troubling cultural shift happening right under our noses: parents who are increasingly terrified of their own children's emotions & behaviors. From panicked mothers frantically searching for iPads in waiting rooms to parents walking on eggshells around teenagers, McFillin challenges the modern narrative that children are inherently fragile & discusses important principles in raising resilient and emotionally stable kids. Why are parents increasingly paralyzed by fear when making what used to be typical parenting decisions?
