Awake at the Wheel | Ep 98
In this episode, Malini Ondrovcik and Dr. Oren Amitay dive into the rise of “FAFO” (F*ck Around and Find Out) parenting and how it stacks up against gentle parenting. We talk about when kids actually need to feel natural consequences, why accountability and resilience matter more than ever, and how to hold the line—especially with teenagers—without becoming a drill sergeant. We also get honest about what it looks like to stay in charge, earn respect, and still be a human who messes up sometimes.
Takeaways
FAFO parenting emphasizes natural consequences for children.
Gentle parenting may lead to a lack of accountability in children.

Parents need to present a united front in discipline.
Changing parenting styles can be challenging but is possible.
Authority in parenting should not equate to fear or shame.
