As parents, we spend so much time making sure our kids succeed in school, sports, and activities—but are we teaching them the life skills they’ll need to thrive in the real world? From cooking and problem-solving to resilience and independence, these skills are just as important as academics (if not more!).

In this episode of The Modern Mommy Doc Podcast, I sit down with Katie Kimball, a former teacher, mom of four, and the founder of Kids Cook Real Food, to talk about why life skills matter and how parents can start teaching them at any age. We dive into the research on kids’ independence, the long-term benefits of hands-on learning, and practical ways to help kids build confidence and responsibility—without overwhelm.
