In this episode, a simple question from a child, “Why are construction trucks yellow?” becomes a profound lesson in curiosity, humility, and connection.
By choosing honesty over authority, this dad models a Montessori-inspired approach to parenting that honors wonder and co-discovery.
More than just answering questions, it’s about creating a space where not knowing is safe and curiosity thrives.
This episode taps into a larger cultural shift where fathers are embracing softness and vulnerability as true strength.
What You’ll Hear:
* An intimate journal entry capturing a real moment of curiosity
* Reflections on how Montessori principles teach us to follow the child’s lead
* Insights on the evolving role of fathers as learners and companions rather than experts
* A gentle invitation to sit with uncertainty and explore questions together
