we hear someone around us, you're just going to do nothing. We almost have this urge to prove and do all of our parenting in like the next 30 seconds. You're regulating your own emotions as an adult versus vomit it onto my child. And it looks like something, but it's actually just stooping to their child level. And I am choosing do nothing. It is mindful restraint.

Jordan, multiple, that's what I'm saying. Multiple things can be true. I would not judge you by any interaction I watch with your child. And there are moments where our kids take over in our homes for all of us.

Yeah. First of all, no two kids in the same family are alike. But I do believe all kids need the same things. But how they are able to receive them are completely different. And what their kind of developmental arcs look like and how long it takes things to click are also completely different.

I love rapid fire. And actually, I bet there's going to be a common thread like there almost always is to our seemingly unrelated parenting struggles. That's a challenge I'll take on.

Those are a bunch of questions. So let's take two questions. One is what's going on with boundaries and are we doing them right and why aren't they seemingly working? And separate but unrelated is when I say my kid isn't listening, what might be really going on? And then what leads to more cooperation?

By no means is any parent perfect. And there's not one system that works for every kid. But in every other area of our life, we probably invest a good amount in education and don't expect to figure it all out by winging it. And so I think there's a happy medium because I think in the workplace, if you show up on day one and your boss goes, well, do a good job today.

And you're like, OK, I want to do a good job. But then you realize you don't have a job description. Right. I think anybody would know I can't do a good job if I don't know what my job is. And I actually think most parents, they actually don't have any clarity in what their job is. What is my job when my kid's upset? What is my job in general? And a lot of it actually comes down to boundaries.
