In this episode we discuss and review a podcast on the dangers of parenting philosophies becoming too protective of our kids. We review a thought provoking podcast challenging parents to basically stop coddling their children and we discuss the  challenges in transitioning a child from being completely dependent on their mother to a fully functioning independent individual. Join in in our journey with a hope that parents and leaders listening can be encouraged to reconsider how their actions may be misaligned with their intent because of the implications of the way they parent.
