Welcome to this episode of our podcast, where we dive deep into the concept of "intensive parenting." Inspired by our recent listen to the podcast episode, Parents Are Not All Right, we explore the surgeon general's alarming warning about a nationwide public health crisis affecting parents today. Hosts discuss the evolution of parenting styles over the years, leading to the prevalent notion of intensive parenting.

Join us as we unpack how parenting has evolved over the decades, shifting from a noun to a verb, and ultimately to a role of protector and currently, teacher. The hosts share their personal experiences with parenting, exploring how they have been navigating and alleviating feelings of guilt and societal pressure. They reflect on the impact of social media on their parenting journeys, recognizing that while it can often add to the pressure, supportive parenting communities can provide a much-needed positive influence and the encouragement we all need!
