This episode is with Julie Lythcott-Haims and we talk about her new book, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult, which is about how to be a good person and have a good life.
We also talked about how to raise kids so that they don’t need a book to learn how to be an adult. Julie also shared some really great tips about truly seeing our children.
Julie Lythcott-Haims believes in humans and is deeply interested in what gets in our way. Her work encompasses writing, speaking, teaching, mentoring, and activism.
We cover:

- What fending is and how can you best prepare your kids for when they do get to the fending stage
- The four step method to teaching any kid any skill
- How to parent our kids the way they need us to parent them
- Unpacking privilege in gentle parenting
