What kind of parent are you? This week, Alicia is a hungover, exhausted parent who really doesn't want to parent at all. Jessica, on the other hand, is chirpy, cheerful and baking cakes (again). We dive in to what kind of parent we are, and talk about the feral child in the neighborhood. 

For decades, pediatricians and psychologists have been seeing climbing rates of anxiety in children and adults, to the point where parenting is sometimes now referred to as a crisis. Many parents say they just want their kids to be happy, but what if what we're doing is having the opposite effect? What's the cause and is there a solution? We unpack the data and look at what this looks like in an average household and what we might do to change course.
