How to Think Like a Child (with David Yeager)

This is an iHeart Podcast. Guaranteed human. Pushkin. Growing up is weird. One moment you're a kid.

You feel certain that you know what you need to be happy, but there's often a very frustrating obstacle in your way, adults. Those authority figures, often your very own parents, who insist that just because they've been around longer, they know what's best for you. It can feel maddening. You swear that when you have kids, things will be different. You will understand.

And then, in what seems like an instant, you're the grown-up. You've got your own kids. It's your turn to be in charge. And somehow along the way, you've forgotten that promise that you made to yourself. You find yourself caught up in that same intergenerational tension that you once swore to avoid.
