The Importance of Allowing Kids to Challenge Rules & Limits (& Why it’s Beneficial) with Nate Feathers


Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode of the Fresh Start Family Show, Wendy and Terry sit down with Nate Feathers, the vibrant dad and creator behind the popular Instagram account "Dads Don’t Babysit." Nate opens up about his journey from a traditional upbringing and career as a pastor to becoming an advocate for conscious parenting. With warmth and honesty, he shares how pivotal life experiences—including personal regrets and the everyday challenges of raising five kids—have shaped his approach to fatherhood and deepened his commitment to being an intentional, present parent.


Together, Nate, Wendy, and Terry explore the importance of self-discipline, modeling behavior, and raising kids who think critically—even when it means questioning authority. They swap personal stories about parenting challenges, the courage it takes to break from cultural norms, and how setting compassionate yet firm boundaries creates stronger family connections. This uplifting conversation is filled with relatable insights and practical wisdom for parents striving to lead with love, integrity, and intention.
