Manage episode 425678298 series 3582491
Our guest today is clear in his view: popular trends in modern parenting are wreaking havoc on our children. In fact, when we asked Dr. Leonard Sax “what gives him hope for the future?”- which you regular No Silly Question listeners will know we ask every guest at the close of the episode- he surprised us as the first guest to answer “he doesn't have hope” because he is not in fact optimistic about where we’re headed as parents.
Regardless what your ultimate take is, Dr. Sax is an original voice and we know this conversation will provoke some and inspire others.
