Remember when Halloween meant heading out with your friends, going door to door, and coming home when your candy bag was full?

In this episode of Decades of Difference: Parenting, I'm talking about something we can all relate to: we don't know what we don't know.

As parents, we make decisions based on what we've experienced, what we've learned, and what we believe is best for our kids. But how much has that changed over the generations?

From Halloween memories to the freedom and independence we give our children, I reflect on how differently we parent today compared to when we were growing up.

Are we protecting our kids more, or are we sometimes holding them back from experiences that help them grow?

It's an honest conversation about parenting, changing times, and figuring things out as we go.

Because no matter what generation we're from, we're all learning along the way.

In this episode of Decades of Difference: Parenting, I'm joined by my good friend Ashley as we explore the many chapters of family life. From blended families and different cultural backgrounds to changing relationships and raising children through life's transitions, we talk about the challenges, lessons, and experiences that shape us as parents. It's an honest, down-to-earth conversation about embracing change, navigating family dynamics, and learning as we go.

In Episode 3, The Learning Curve, I'm reflecting on how parenting is always a learning curve. From raising my older two to figuring things out with my younger three in a whole new world, and now learning again as a grandparent. It's a real, personal look at how we adapt, mess up, grow, and keep learning. Because the truth is the learning never stops.
