What Are We Actually Supposed to Do Less Of?

Robyn breaks down exactly what she means by “do less,” clearing up misconceptions and guiding parents toward supportive, science-backed shifts.

In Episode 2 of Do Less Parenting, Robyn takes time to clarify something essential, what exactly are we doing that we should do less of? This episode is all about defining the “less” in Do Less Parenting, so that parents aren’t left guessing or, worse, assuming they’re supposed to show up less or love their kids less.

With her signature blend of warmth, clarity, and clinical insight, Robyn outlines the behaviors and patterns that actually increase anxiety in kids and stress in parents. From over-accommodating to stepping in too quickly, she helps listeners recognize what’s getting in the way of their child’s independence and how they can begin to change that.
