Lee Davy dives into a topic that many parents find challenging yet crucial – understanding the quiet changes in their children as they navigate societal pressures. In this episode of the 1000 Days Sober Podcast, Lee shares his personal experiences as a parent and unpacks the subtle ways children start losing their sense of self. He highlights how these transformations can lead to behaviours like drinking, as children strive to fit in with societal norms.
The discussion centres around World Youth Skills Day, urging parents to look beyond conventional skills like coding and AI, and focus on nurturing their child's self-worth. Lee introduces the concept of 'The Echo', a metaphor for the inner voice that children often suppress under peer pressure. By encouraging open conversations and recognising their child's spotlight moments without judgement, parents can help them maintain their authenticity. Lee's anecdotes offer relatable insights, making this episode not just informative but also deeply empathetic.
If you're a parent worried about your child's well-being, this episode might just provide the perspective you need.
