• Abby Wambach & Julie Foudy on Raising Independent Kids in a Hyper-Watched World

  Abby Wambach and Julie Foudy join Greg for a conversation that hits at the heart of modern parenting. In a world where kids are constantly being watched, tracked, and evaluated, Abby makes the case for something simple but powerful: kids need space. Space to play, to fail, to problem-solve, and to figure out who they are without always feeling eyes on them. They talk about why unsupervised play still matters, how too much oversight can quietly hold kids back, and what it really takes to raise confident, independent young people today.
