First Time Dads

Let your kid be a kid: Why dads need to be more 'hands off'


Listen Later

Ever watched your kid playing by themselves and thought, 'I should be a good dad and join in'?
Steve and Rich have - but it turns out you would often be doing more for your child by leaving them to play alone.
In this episode, the guys are joined by Dr William Stixrud and Ned Johnson, two American parenting experts who have co-written a new book called The Thriving Child.
In the book, Bill and Ned explain why today's kids are now the most anxious generation of children ever, and reveal how their hands-off parenting techniques - which give a child freedom to learn and discover the world independently - can help a child feel less stressed out in the long term.
