About this listen
In this bold and necessary episode, Instructor Mike challenges one of the most deeply held beliefs in parenting culture: that respect is automatically owed to adults—especially parents. Drawing from early childhood education, developmental science, and real-world experience, Mike explores why respect isn’t a guaranteed right but a relational result.
You’ll hear:
• Why early childhood educators earn a child’s trust before teaching anything
• How fear-based parenting often masquerades as respect
• What attachment theory and emotional development say about parent-child relationships
• Why parenting is a service role—not just a position of power
• How to scaffold trust and emotional safety at home
Whether you’re a parent, educator, or someone rethinking how you were raised, this episode invites you to reimagine what real respect looks like—and how to model it for the next generation.

👉 Do you believe parents should have to earn their child’s respect? Why or why not?
