Join us for a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. Leonard Sax, a renowned expert in psychology and family medicine, who challenges the status quo on gender identity and parenting in today's ever-changing world. Dr. Sax shares his experiences with being canceled by public schools due to his views on transgender issues and offers a critical perspective on the American Academy of Pediatrics' guidelines for pediatric gender transition. Dive into the updates in his book, The Collapse of Parenting, and explore the new chapter that tackles the rise of transgender identity among children—a topic previously unaddressed in earlier editions.

Our discussion ventures into the effects of social media on youth mental health. We contrast biblical parenting philosophies with modern permissive styles, and you'll discover why authoritative parenting is backed by evidence to produce happier and healthier children. The episode also introduces the concept of "normophobia," exploring how societal pressures towards non-conformity are reshaping young minds, particularly in English-speaking countries.

Finally, we guide parents through navigating educational and cultural landscapes that may conflict with their values. Dr. Sax shares insights on the importance of choosing schools that align with one's beliefs. We emphasize the crucial role parents play as primary educators of their children, particularly in areas of faith and morals, offering strategies to instill resilience and confidence in navigating today's complex cultural dynamics.
