Can you explain the disconnect?

So with regards to that cycle, I can't help but think of a parenting style that maybe... So I'm 51, so I grew up in the 70s.

So a parenting style that I experienced in the 70s

versus parenting today in 2026, it's vastly different.

And then I can't help but think of, well, what's parenting going to be in 30 years?

It's the same way I think about food, nutrition.

What did we know 20 years ago?

That's completely wrong.

And what are we doing today?

Then 20 years, we're going to say that's crazy.

What's your take on how parenting has shifted?

So maybe swung the pendulum a little bit too far and maybe a bit too gentle, if you will.

You know, something I think about a lot, we have two little girls, nine and six and a half.

And, you know, I think, you know, in preparing for this interview, I'm like, oh, God, like, what am I?

I need to assess myself.

What am I doing?

And I make mistakes.

We all do.

And something you talk about in the book is this idea of safety and it's how foundational.

And I looked at this and said, you know what, I'm probably pretty good here.
