Rules Are Dumb | How to teach your kids more effectively + easily

It's an opinionated week on the podcast: first we realize we've both had close encounters with reality TV and have spicy feelings about it, then Layne shares some hot takes about rules (not a fan). We deep dive into why it's more effective and EASIER to focus on teaching kids what they CAN do than trying to enforce a list of "rules". We discuss why traditional rules are too abstract for little kids to follow, why rules provoke anxiety in both kids and parents, and which very normal parenting habits are totally ineffective (plus what to do instead!).

PS. This is right after I got fillers in October and my face is a wee bit swollen so I look a bit like a Real Housewife of … any city. haha 😬 thank goodness the swelling went down! Hopefully it’s not too distracting to watch.
