Ever wondered what it truly means to raise a child with respect while maintaining your authority as a father? In this thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Gal Ezra, a brand-new dad from Cape Town, South Africa, who shares his fresh perspective on fatherhood and the unconventional wisdom passed down from his father.

The Power of Redefining Childhood

Discover why Gal believes most parenting problems stem from a fundamental misunderstanding of what a child actually is. Learn how viewing children as "human beings with small bodies" who always have good intentions but sometimes bad results can transform your entire approach to fatherhood.

Celebrating Help Over Perfection

Explore how Gal's family celebrated every attempt to help, even when it resulted in broken vases or bigger messes. Understand why rewarding the intention behind your child's actions - rather than focusing solely on the outcome - builds confidence and creates kids who want to contribute rather than rebel.

The Sacred Nature of Self-Determinism

Uncover the concept that changed Gal's upbringing: preserving your child's ability to govern themselves. Learn why "what's yours is yours" became a cornerstone principle in his household and how giving children real ownership over their possessions teaches responsibility without control.

Are you ready to examine the fake realities you might be operating under and discover what happens when you treat your kids as the capable human beings they truly are? Listen now and prepare to have your parenting perspective completely shifted.
