When did raising children become a high-stakes competitive sport? In this extremely nuanced conversation, we are examining the culture of intensive parenting from a parent (Amanda) and a non-parent (Sam). In this conversation, we tackle:
* How social media algorithms reinforce parental anxiety by promoting rigid, conflicting approaches
* The rise of intensive parenting and the pressure to optimize every aspect of childhood
* The confusion around "gentle parenting" and why it often slides into permissive parenting
* Amanda's experience navigating food choices with her toddler while healing from her own eating disorder
* The suffocating pressure on mothers that begins during pregnancy and only intensifies after birth
* How fear of judgment keeps parents from sharing their real experiences and decisions
WE ARE NOW ON SUBSTACK with bonus episodes, pep talks, episodes guides, and so much more! Join us at nuanceneeded.substack.com
To learn more about therapy reach out to Therapy for Women Center, therapyforwomencenter.com. We have therapists licensed in 42 states across the country and have offices if you are local to the Philadelphia area.
