Your job is not to make your kid happy.

It is to make them strong enough to handle life.

This episode is all about raising not just confident, but

capable kids.

You guys are child counselors and you're working primarily with kids eight to 18 years old.

And so the types of families that are bringing their kids to you, what is it that they're experiencing with their children that they kind of need help with?

That's so special.

And how long have you guys been working together?

What was the situation or story that drove you into this line of work?

You guys are saying that as child counselors, you are seeing things in kids that you have not seen at all in 30 years, and it has you seriously concerned.

What has changed that is really freaking you out?

So parents are going to AI to help them parent their kids.

Yes.

Why do parents not feel equipped to parent?

There's this phenomenon of teenagers that are saying, I don't need to get my driver's license yet.

I don't really have an interest in that.

And parents are just like, okay, you don't have an interest in that.
