"If You Don't Influence Your Child, Kim Kardashian Will Do It For You" Reclaim Authority With Avital Schreiber-Levy
In this powerful episode, we explore why so many modern parents—especially in the millennial generation—feel like they’ve lost their authority. We unpack the cultural shifts that led us here: from authoritarian upbringings to the rise of therapeutic parenting, gentle approaches, and fear of judgment in a multicultural, morally relativistic society.
But have we gone too far?
We discuss how authority became synonymous with oppression, why permissiveness is not the solution, and how children actually thrive when there is clear, benevolent leadership in the home.
You’ll learn:
- The root causes of the "authority crisis" in modern parenting
- The consequences for kids: confusion, anxiety, identity struggles
- The impact on parents: guilt, doubt, and burnout
- How to reclaim your role as a loving leader in your family
- Practical steps to build a strong family culture, set boundaries with confidence, and raise grounded, resilient kids in a chaotic world
