We Had to Unlearn This to Raise Creative Kids

Description

Episode 20 is all about our son Moon’s birthday celebration: a camping-themed party of his dreams. As expected, Kate took the theme very seriously, and Joey somehow talked his way through a few logistical roadblocks.  We reflect on being parents for seven years now and truly having the best kids. We can’t take all the credit, but in response to a caller’s question about raising creative kids, we share some of the things we’ve been intentional about as parents, from avoiding the pressures of toxic masculinity to prioritizing unstructured play instead of competition in early childhood.  Plus, Tess is back for the Throne of Glass talk. Despite Joey claiming he loved the series, he seems to remember surprisingly little of what actually happened. Check out the Rug Cuddle Instagram to see Joey’s latest 5-star reads.
