#40: If you want to be a "good parent", then...

Imagine this: You blink, and your child is dangling from the top of a jungle gym. Your breath catches. One wrong move and—your mind races. You want to shout. You need to shout. But instead… you stay silent.

Because deep down, you’re testing something: What if your instinct to help is causing harm?

This episode lays bare the invisible tension every parent carries—the crushing belief that constant instruction equals love, safety, responsibility. We unpack how that belief, born of fear, becomes a trap.

With raw honesty, we explore what happens when we stop directing our children and instead trust the chaos of their becoming. Featuring insights from Montessori and Alfie Kohn, this is the parenting story you didn’t know you needed—but won’t forget.

This parenting podcast is not your typical parenting banter.

Priya Narthakii (Values Mindset & Peak Parenting Coach & Mother of 2) & Harry Goldberg (Mindset & Performance Coach & Father of 2) provide you with fresh perspectives on how to raise kids who are self-driven, self-motivated, growth-minded and kind.

Most importantly, this podcast is for parents who want to have a beautiful relationship with their kids.

You don’t need anything new to achieve this. Perhaps, all you need is a new perspective which hasn’t come across your growth path...

...yet.
