EP10: Beyond Supermom

In this special episode, I'm joined by Nate Hilger, an economist and the author of "The Parent Trap." We discuss the challenges parents face in providing the support kids need to thrive academically and in life. Can one or two people be the tutor, counselor, nutritionist, coach, advocate and college advisor our children need? Probably not.

Nate breaks parenting into two categories: nurturing and skill-building. He explains why parents can't be expected to master everything involved in raising healthy and well-educated children.

We also discuss the impact of family income on access to critical supports needed to bridging skill gaps. From navigating the educational landscape to effectively advocating for your children, we offer practical insights and actionable strategies parents can use to build a team of supporters to help their children win in school and life.

Whether you're a seasoned parent or just beginning your journey, this episode is filled with valuable wisdom and inspiration for you!
