The Mental Breakdown

Boiled Frogs and Goldilocks (TMB118)


Listen Later

We have all heard the admittedly morbid parable of boiled frogs. That is, if you put a frog in boiling water, he will jump right out. But if you put him in cool water and then heat it to a boil, the frog will remain in the water . Whether you have heard of the frogs parable or not, you are certainly aware of the story of Goldilocks and her need to find the porridge, chair, or bed that is "just right."
On today's podcast, Dr. Berney and Dr. Richard talk about these parables and the lessons they teach us as parents. They encourage us to be mindful of the "slow boil" that changes parents' expectations and results in us moving away from the perspectives that are "just right."
