In this episode, Catherine and Abby dive into Michaeleen Doucleff's book, "Hunt, Gather, Parent." The book takes a look at ancient cultures and how their approaches to parenting can offer valuable lessons for us today. One of the key takeaways is that involving children in chores from a young age can boost their ability to handle tasks on their own and even enhance their mental well-being. Inuit culture, in particular, emphasizes the significance of emotional intelligence and togetherness, teaching kids how to navigate adult environments in a supportive way. Gradually exposing children to adult activities helps build their confidence, tolerance, and independence.
Delaying smartphones and social media for children can promote more outdoor play and healthier interactions, as suggesting in Jonathan Haidt’s book, The Anxious Generation.
Overall, it's a reminder of how we can nurture our children in ways that support their growth and well-being!
