Moments #53 - I Am Not The Fun Parent — Why Children Need One Reckless Parent And One Careful One - Tiffany Sanya (Scott)

I am not the fun parent. I am the one who checks the stair gate twice and has read the entire homework folder before dinner.
Their dad is not like this. Bedtime when he has them involves a game called Goon, which is essentially him chasing them round the house at full volume while nobody winds down for sleep.
I used to think that made me the careful parent and him the less careful one. Now I think it makes us exactly what they need.
In this episode:
→ Why one parent worrying about safety and one parent encouraging risk might be the healthiest combination a child can have
→ Why consistency matters more than fun, and fun matters more than we admit
→ A Father's Day reflection for the fun ones, the reckless ones, and everyone raising children in their own particular way
For every parent who has ever thought they were doing it wrong because they were doing it differently.
