This week we reveal a debate we’ve had for fifteen years and talk about whether or not we should tell our kids about Santa . Warning- this episode should be listened to without kids.

It sneaks up on us and a lot of times we don’t even notice. Fear can be a constant state of being for some parents. How do we combat fear and most importantly, document.write(""); how do we keep from passing that fear on to our kids. This episode we talk about stopping ourselves from parenting from a place of fear.

Do you see your kids as an extension of yourself? Do you have unrealistic expectations for your kids? Are you always concerned about making sure your kids present the perfect image? This week’s episode is about ego and how it affects our parenting choices.

There are many examples of parenting through our ego and we’re all guilty of it at some point. This week we talk about the ego traps we’ve fallen into and how to watch out for the pitfalls.
