Podcast Episode 92: How to Parent for the Long Haul with Julie Lythcott-Haims

When we over-parent and rescue all the time, we’re depriving our kids from living.

Life is truly an active verb. And when we focus on making things easier in the short term, we deprive our kids of the skills they need for the long haul.

In this podcast episode, we speak with Julie Lythcott-Haims who is the New York Times bestselling author of the anti-helicopter parenting manifesto How to Raise an Adult, Real American, and her newest book, Your Turn: How to Be an Adult. Julie believes in humans and is deeply interested in what gets in our way.

She shares with us how parents can sometimes get focused on the short-term gains and lose sight of those long-haul parenting goals. And in the end, it’s our kids who pay the price. We had some of our best “Oh crap! I’m an adult now” moments and how we found strength in them, just as our kids will!

In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:

  • What is “fending” and why it’s such an important moment for all of us.
  • How getting focused on the short-term gains can kill those long-haul parenting goals.
  • How “Life’s Beautiful F-words” -failing, falling, faltering, (giving) feedback, flailing, floundering, fumbling; build our kids into self-sufficient adults.

Resources We Shared In This Episode:

Calm & Happy Parenting Time to get your kids to listen and help out more without the fighting!  This is your complete solution to shift the responsibility of “doing everything for everyone” to your family and to give you the kind of relationship you want with your kids and the entire family!

How to win at allowance by NOT paying for chores

I stared at the complicated chore chart that my dad placed on our refrigerator.

42 cents for washing dishes. 20 cents for picking up my room.

When he first pitched this idea to my 10-year-old self, I wanted to do all the chores immediately.

This was my chance to earn $5 a week. Yes, I could do this!

So, I did the dishes. It took me 20 minutes and I didn’t even get enough money to buy a can of soda. Wouldn’t it be simpler to pull that red can of Coke out of our fridge?

That week, I completed a few boxes of chores from that monster list, collected my $1.15 and then ignored the list the next week.

Soon, the chore chart disappeared.
