Balancing the Art and Science of Parenting
It’s the great unseen career. It’s got long work hours, requires expertise, comes with perform-no-matter-how-you-feel pressure, and the stakes are high. It’s an invaluable role. Parents are producing people after all. So shouldn’t it come with education and compensation? Yes and yes.
What happens when we present it to a diverse range of experts and real parents? Cue a meaty debate. We dive into questions like; Who would pay parents? What would the education look like? Could this reduced adverse childhood experiences? Would this foster resilience in families and communities? What about diversity and parents’ rights? How could this work? Why wouldn’t this work?
This is the Professionalizing Parenting: The Unseen Career podcast—featuring two moms, Dr. Dawn Murray Griffin and Willow Duttge Tepper, & dad, Barry Pollard who are ready for a revolution in parenting culture.
Individuality versus standardization, access and equity, stress, cultural variations, cost, regulation, ethics, and parental autonomy will all be addressed. It's essential to consider these factors while also balancing the value placed on the critical role of parenting in child development, societal well-being, and the potential benefits of professionalization.
