Kevin Baker, a life coach for teens and tweens, shares advice for parents on how to better connect with their kids and guide them toward independence. Kevin talks about the importance of understanding who your kids are, rather than focusing on whether you're a "good" parent. He breaks down the difference between helicopter and lighthouse parenting and explains why it's essential to let kids make their own choices, even if they fail sometimes. Kevin offers insights on how to foster confidence, self-awareness, and responsibility in young people, while addressing the pressures of modern-day parenting.
