What are the lessons Max has taught his parents?    


Rebecca and Seth Greene, hosts of Whinypaluza Wednesday, dedicate this episode to their son Max, who is about to turn 18. They reflect on the lessons they've learned from him.  The episode emphasizes the importance of letting go as parents, allowing children to make decisions and learn from their experiences.  They also discuss the value of setting clear boundaries and expectations, being flexible and adaptable to change, and offering support without constantly trying to solve their children's problems.  The hosts highlight the significance of being present and supportive as parents while encouraging their children's independence.

  • Let Go and Believe in Your Children: Allow them to make their own decisions and learn from their experiences.    

  • Set Clear Boundaries and Expectations: Establish a few important rules and enforce them consistently.    

  • Be Flexible and Adaptable to Change: Embrace change and support your children's evolving aspirations.
