In Episode 3 of The Parent Whisperer Podcast, host Richard Ramos challenges the widely accepted parenting cliché, “It takes a village to raise a child.” Drawing from his personal experience as the son of a single mother and his professional journey as a youth counselor, Ramos makes a compelling case that strong, intentional parenting—not a village—is what truly shapes resilient, successful children. He argues that modern parenting should empower, not diminish, the role of mothers and fathers, especially single parents. Highlighting today’s cultural distrust in societal systems—from schools to politics—he reinforces the idea that while community support is welcome, the authority and responsibility should remain with the parent.

Ramos then introduces the concept of “professional parenting,” emphasizing that just like top performers in any field, great parents continually invest in their own growth. He recounts the origins of his Parents on a Mission program, born out of witnessing how dysfunctional home environments often undermined his work with at-risk youth. Rather than labeling parenting classes as tools for “bad parents,” he reframes them as vital resources for good parents who want to get better. He encourages parents to see personal growth, emotional maturity, and staying relevant in today’s fast-changing world as the pillars of raising children with strength and intention.
