Ep 1123 | Why Boys Are Failing Kindergarten | Guest: Dr. Leonard Sax

Today, we sit down with Dr. Leonard Sax, family physician and author, to discuss the effects of social media on children and what the upcoming TikTok ban means for our young people. He gives us some insight into the dangers that modern entertainment and the shifting American culture pose to children. We also talk about how bad gentle parenting is for children and how to actually enforce boundaries with kids. And what really are the differences between raising boys and girls, and what does this mean for early childhood schooling?
