Loading player...
What do you do when your Grade Two child insists on changing schools, but can't articulate why?
In this personal episode, our host shares a central parenting conundrum: accommodating his youngest son’s persistent, yet unexplained, request to move schools - a decision that throws a wrench into the family's dual-school schedule.
This mystery sparks a broader reflection on sibling dynamics: Is the younger brother feeling the pressure of living in the shadow of an academically high-achieving older sibling? The host explores whether the shadow acts as a hindrance or, as his own younger brother suggested, a 'security blanket.'
Listen to this candid look at the delicate balance between listening to a child's needs and trusting your own parental instinct as they take a leap of faith.
