Lighthouse Parenting: Raising Resilient Kids | Dr. Ken Ginsburg
About this episode
Dr. Ken Ginsburg discusses lighthouse parenting and its impact on raising resilient kids.
Every parent thinks they're protecting their kid, until one day they realize they're not. Pediatrician Dr. Ken Ginsburg joins Richard Taite to unpack "lighthouse parenting," the balanced style he developed after finding it cut teen car crash risk in half. They get into why hovering backfires, how to let kids fail safely, and the one question ("tell me the drama") that gets teenagers to actually open up. A real, sometimes uncomfortable conversation for any parent trying to figure out where to hold on and where to let go. Guest: Dr. Ken Ginsburg, pediatrician and founder of the Center for Parent and Teen Communication (parentandteen.com), author of Lighthouse Parenting .
