Respect, trust and safety all tie together and as parents, its our job to be that for our kids.

Cookie Monster on Sesame Street used to say that all the time. What did he get out of his constant want for cookies - more cookies. Humans are no different and we live in a compare and contrast world. This episode is based on some of the writing in the book 'Wanting: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday life' by Luke Burgis.
