  • Getting worse

    I feel like the first season of this show was pretty great and it has slowly been getting worse. Some of the guests are still good, but others are just pushing their own agenda and have no evidence to back up their statements. Or maybe they do, but we don’t get to hear it because the host admits she cuts out 30-45 minutes of “some of the best parts” of each interview and puts it behind a paywall. She claims it’s for the algorithm, but I still think it’s all an odd thing to say. I know she needs ... more

  • Stop giving medical advice followed by saying you’re not a doctor…

    I was totally on board at first, but she keeps interjecting about how to avoid certain tests, how to avoid certain vitamins, etc. and then following by saying “but take that with a grain of salt.. I’m not a medical doctor”. As soon as you give your opinion on your aversion to pregnancy care that is directed by medical guidelines, people are going to listen to you whether or not you follow by saying you’re not the right person to be giving that information. Example… The glucose tolerance liquid t... more

Q: What tips do you have for parents to balance legitimate safety concerns with letting their kids experience real-world risks as they age?
Avoid labeling everyday activities as 'risk' and instead focus on gradual, supervised exposure that still lets kids navigate decisions for themselves; start with age-appropriate autonomy and build up as they demonstrate competence, always balancing safety with opportunities to learn resilience.
