005: On parenting, from the middle and the end of the journey
Description
Note: Shawn had some technical issues with his sound on this one. Apologies for the subpar audio.
Post-Thanksgiving, we weigh in on the pie vs cake question and veer into tales of pudding skin and lumpy oatmeal. Then we dive into a long chat about parenting. From the “mission accomplished” end of the parenting journey, Milo offers a perspective on the recipe for his girls’ success. Shawn, still in the thick of it with grade-school-age kids, shares a personal mantra that has helped him as a dad and with life in general. We dig into nature vs nurture, tackle picky eating, discipline, the importance of seeing your kids as actual people, and being present and curious and interested in who they are.
