By prioritizing your partner before your child you are being the best parent.
Maybe it sounds contradictory but this is among the best parenting advices you will be able to find in this long podcast.
I have made a short review about the interview of Dr. Becky Kennedy with Andrew Huberman and while I tried to tell you the essence of that interview I believe that watching the original long talk will give you marvelous insights into what good parenting is all about.
Main ideas from this interview:
1.Telling your child " I believe you" validates their experience ( kids need boundaries and when we validate how they feel when we tell them No we help them develop the neural circuits for tolerating frustration)
2.Separate identity from behaviour( feelings without communication skills come out in bad behaviours and we punish bad behaviour instead of addressing the fact that it shows a lack of skill, both in adults and children)
3.Teach children to tolerate frustration and do not pay them for doing house chores
4.Prioritize your partner before your kids
5.Parenting is the only job you care about on your deathbed
