about the podcast
Parenting today is unlike any other time in history.
Our kids are growing up in a fast-moving, tech-driven culture that speaks a different language and faces dangers most parents never imagined. At the same time, families are carrying the weight of “bad news fatigue” and the temptation to tune out hard conversations. But silence doesn’t protect our kids—knowledge does.
That’s where Parenting the NOW Generation steps in.
