Parents of the Year
We were never given a manual on how to parent. It is easy to get overwhelmed to know the right thing to do. There is so much contradictory information out there and everyone has their own advice. Parenting is a rewarding but messy, confusing, infuriating, guilt-inducing, and overwhelming journey. While it's easy to get lost, Andrew Stewart, a real dad, and Dr. Caroline Buzanko, a real mom, child psychologist, and parenting expert (who also happens to be married to Andrew) will help you get back on track. In each episode, Andrew and Caroline have open and honest chats about everything parenting. Join them in honesty, laughter, and tears (Caroline is a bit of a cry baby) as they help you navigate this journey of parenting. And, every so often, you may get some gems of expert advice. Our goal is to make your parenting journey less stressful, more forgiving, and more awesome. Please join us every Wednesday for new episodes of Parenting of the Year.
Parents of the Year
158. What would your ideal community for raising kids look like?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What if you could build a dream community from scratch—one where kids roam freely, neighbours co-parent, schools are reimagined, and baby gates are banned?
In this episode of Parents of the Year, Andrew and Caroline go off-script (again), mapping out their not-so-gentle vision of paradise. They talk about core values and whether technology belongs anywhere near a truly connected life.
Warning: quicksand pits and dumb phones may be involved.
This isn’t about fantasy. It’s about how the small choices we make today shape our kids’ worlds tomorrow.
Homework Ideas:
- Write down your top 3 values for raising kids. Now ask: does your daily life reflect them?
- Take your kids outside for unstructured play. No gear, no agenda. Just nature.
- For one full day, leave your phone behind and track how it changes your attention and connection.
