Description
Damien Cave, author of "Parenting Like an Australian" joins us to explore the profound impact of risk, fear, and courage on parenting. Damien challenges the perfectionist culture in America that demands excellence in everything. He shares how Australians embrace the comfort of being bad at things and don't fear failure. We discuss the idea that parents don't always need complete control over their children and that kids can thrive even when they experience fear. Throughout our conversation, we dive into the power of modeling failure and resilience to our kids. Damien emphasizes the need to balance safety with taking risks and seeking personal growth. Nature plays a significant role in this process, teaching us to deal with uncertainty and providing a space for fun, growth, and self-discovery. The overemphasis on safety in our society and how it can hinder personal growth and development. Join us as we unravel the influence of risk, fear, and courage on parenting. Discover how embracing challenges and finding the right balance between safety and risk can lead to personal growth, resilience, and a deeper connection with nature. Get ready to be inspired by Damien Cave's insights on creating a fulfilling and fearless parenting journey.
