In this thought-provoking, new episode of Rethinking Dad, we engage in a compelling discussion about what we refer to as "the parenting continuum." This "continuum" explores the cavern between partner parenting and the the more control-focused style of parenting.

With partner parenting, parents provide children the freedom to shape their own lives. This style is designed to allow children to develop their own intuition and guide their path from an early age.

"Living a life of self-design can only be designed by the self," - Kevin

While we are not here to judge or condone either path, this conversation is simply designed to be a journey of reflection around our own decisions as Dads. Just asking where we all lie on this spectrum, and how that might have evolved is powerful act of self-discovery.

This episode prompts a critical reflection on parental responsibilities—should parents mold their kids according to their ideals, or is the true responsibility guiding them towards self-discovery and personal molding?

We love challenging conventional notions and sparking contemplation on the profound impact of our parenting choices and we hope this episode of "Rethinking Dad" leaves you with fresh perspectives on the ever-evolving role of being a Dad.

If you like what you're hearing, thank you in advance for leaving us a 5-star rating and a written review. We ask for this because it helps other Dads discover our podcasts. (the world of podcasts, like many things is driven by ratings and reviews)

In addition, it would mean the world if you shared with another Dad (or Mom) you know so they can join in the conversation and offer even more insight into the world of being a Dad.
