What does a mistaken deportation have to do with parenting?

In this episode, I unpack the Kilmar Abrago-Garcia case—and why the public’s surprising reaction to it reveals something powerful: cognitive flexibility.
The ability to pause. Reframe. Sort information differently.

It’s not just a brain skill. It’s a life skill.
And it might be the most important one we can build in our kids right now.

We’ll cover:

• What executive function really is (and why it’s not just about school)

• How authoritarian thinking depends on lazy sorting

• And how simple tools—like how you play 20 Questions—can shape how your child thinks for life

This story isn’t just about immigration.
It’s about raising kids who think for themselves.
