Ever wondered why your mom could spot a fake friend from a mile away? Join us on the hottest marriage podcast hosted by John D-N- Kanika, AKA D.E.W.-N-2woMuch Podcast, as we reveal the fascinating ways family dynamics and intuition intersect. We start with some exciting personal updates, from planning a Girls' Day to picking up photography, and then dive into a riveting discussion on how parents, kids, and friends often identify pretenders in our lives better than we do. Reflecting on our own experiences, we explore the accuracy of parental advice on friendships and how our kids' perspectives and family tolerance have profoundly influenced our relationships and personal growth. Next, we tackle the age-old debate: should children be obliged to hug family members they aren't comfortable with? Balancing familial traditions with the need to respect children's boundaries, we explore various ways for kids to show respect, such as handshakes or verbal greetings, and how our cultural backgrounds shape these practices. We'll share a heartwarming story about a young boy who courageously stood against unwanted hugs, supported by his understanding parents. Wrapping up, we give a nod to those fostering safe environments for kids to assert their preferences, reminding everyone to take proactive steps to make each day better than the last. Tune in for a thought-provoking and inspiring episode that encourages respect for autonomy and personal boundaries.
