DEEP DIVE: Gabrielle Blair, THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT
We often get anxious when our kids deviate from what we've all been told is the one path to success and happiness. Gabrielle Blair, author of the book THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, explains how to help our kids become themselves.
Based on a recent listener question about how to start to let go as our kids get older, this "Deep Dive" series highlights some of our past interview episodes on the topic.
As moms, we're often given tons of societal pressure on how we have to give our kids all the right things—then told to "chill out" when it comes to the worrying part. Gabrielle Blair, author of THE KIDS ARE ALL RIGHT, is here to tell us that adulthood doesn't look like it used to, and that there are many paths to the success and happiness that all our kids deserve.
Gabrielle Blair is the the founder of DesignMom.com and the author of the New York Times blockbuster bestseller Ejaculate Responsibly.
Gabrielle, Amy, and Margaret discuss:
- How the idea of the "reliable path to success" is actually harmful for a lot of parents and kids
- Simple (and free/cheap) ways to use your home to create the family life you want
- Why Gabrielle disagrees with the "you only get 18 summers" rhetoric that permeates parenting circles
