S4E31: Deb Rubin Part 2 - Crop Tops, Instagram and Critical Thinking: How to Give Kids More Freedom Not Less

Part two of our conversation with Deb Rubin, we dig into the clothing conversation most parents dread, the social media question nobody has a clean answer to, and the one reframe that changes everything: middle school is training, not punishment. Deb walks us through the questions she actually asks when her daughter comes downstairs in a questionable outfit, how she managed social media limits until junior year (and then let go), and why the parents who are strictest online are almost always the most lenient in the real world, when it should be exactly the opposite. Plus Jenni's clinical take on dopamine, and why building multiple sources of it may be one of the most important things we can do for our kids.
