Modern parenting experts are saying some pretty bizarre things.

Is it truly good for children to get a sense that they're not in charge?

Or does parental authority somehow limit their freedom of expression?

Is the chief aim of parenting to create a "safe" environment for our kids?

Should we force our kids to create their own version of good and evil?

We answer these questions and more on today's podcast.
