About this episode

The episode discusses parenting strategies for fostering responsibility and decision-making in children.

After we pour a beer, we get into what is happening in Minnesota with the ICE-related shootings and how that story has been developing. Do you occasionally take a left on a red arrow? We discuss our thoughts on that. Ha. The primary topic we dive into is indicators that maybe your children don't feel freedom to make their own decisions - even on trivial matters. As they get older, they need space to start making good - and bad - decisions on their own so you can help train them up before their leave your home. What are those indicators?
