Football Mums, Dance Dads & The Pressure on Kids!

Are we putting too much pressure on our kids? From football academies and dance competitions to gaming, packed schedules and the chaos of getting everyone out of the house, parenting has never felt busier! This week on You Don't Know You're Born, Danny Miller, Brooke Vincent and Wingman tackle the world of children's hobbies and ask an important question: are we doing too much? Brooke opens up about the reality of juggling her boys' football commitments, the pressure surrounding football academies and whether children actually need more time to just be kids. Danny shares Albert's first experiences of football, his frustration with overenthusiastic dance parents and some hilarious memories of growing up with The Sims, MSN and Chatroulette. Plus, the gang discuss Roblox, screen time, childhood nostalgia and whether modern parents have forgotten what it's like to be a kid. And in this week's Acting Up, there's a parenting dilemma involving a brutally honest child who just can't stop embarrassing her parents!
