Who Are Parents?

We believe that lots of people "parent" our kids, even if they're not their parents. This episode talks through some of the considerations  with these scenarios and what to think about if you're "parenting" a child.

It's important to remember that a child's family of origin always has more influence over that child than anyone else, including relatives, peers, or teachers.

We make a distinction between LOGISTICS, like eating, screen time, etc. and FELT SAFETY like sleeping, bedtime, etc. Even if you don't agree with certain parenting practices of a child's parents, you can still enforce your own boundaries and expectations, as long as you recognise that you are not going to make significant changes in their behaviours or routines, especially if you're only with them short periods of time or infrequently.

As adults, we create environments for ourselves that are comfortable and convenient, but often refuse to allow our kids to do the same. As much as you can, you should let kids have control over what they're doing and how they want things to be structured.
