What are the 5 rules of parenting? In this episode, Carla Naumburg and I talk about the article, The 5 Rules of Parenting by Mike Troiano. After 54 collective years of parenting, does Mike have all the answers? Yes, and no. There are things we really agree with, and things don't. My three big takeaways from our conversation were: You need support at the baby stage Should your toddlers fear you? No! Parenting is about the long game, and strong relationships are paramount And listen for mine and Carla's parenting wins and fails! We also mentioned Ron Leiber’s The Opposite of Spoiled and Fam Zoo.
