概要
We’ve been sold the idea that every moment needs to be bigger, better, themed, photographed, and posted. But kids don’t remember the balloon arch. They remember how it felt.
In this episode, I unpack how we went from simple drive-by birthday parades during COVID — where connection mattered more than stuff — to over-the-top PTO culture, competitive celebrations, and milestone moments that feel more like performances than memories.
We’ll talk about:
Why kids remember people, laughter, and belonging — not the favors, themes, or decorations
How “making it special” can quietly turn into pressure, comparison, and resentment
What we’re teaching kids about gratitude, community, and worth (often without realizing it)
How to shift from consumption to connection — without becoming the “fun police”
This is a conversation about slowing down, letting go of the noise, and remembering what actually sticks with kids long after the party is over.
