Remote, iPad, disengaged parenting is a disaster.

Dr. Scott Anderson argues that the root of most modern dysfunction starts with how we raise kids — and that the fix is surprisingly straightforward: train parents.

In this episode he lays out:

• Why “gentle” and screen-based parenting fails kids
• The case for mandatory pre-marriage and pre-parenting classes
• How small interventions (already used by some churches) dramatically improve outcomes
• Why incentivizing stable two-parent homes makes more economic sense than the current system
• What actually gives kids a real shot at becoming productive, stable adults

Whether you agree with every proposal or not, the core message is clear: parenting skills matter more than almost anything else we’re currently funding.
