🎙️ Episode Title: Overcompensating Parenting Description: Are you giving your child everything you wish you had — and then some? In this episode, we unpack the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways parents may overcompensate out of love, guilt, or fear. From overscheduling to overpraising, we explore how good intentions can sometimes lead to overwhelming expectations — and what to do instead. It's not about doing less, it's about doing what's truly needed.
