Title: Systems vs Culture: Who Shapes Our Kids? | Uncut Clip from Ep 1

What shapes the way our children grow up — systems or culture? 🤔In this uncut conversation, we explore how Singapore’s structured education policies and New Zealand’s cultural mindset create very different childhood experiences. From when kids start school, to how parents and communities support them, this is a fascinating look at how environment shapes values.

Pamela and I also dive into the insights from the book NurtureShock, which challenges traditional parenting wisdom with research-backed truths — from the inverse power of praise to how sleep affects children’s emotional well-being, IQ, and even health. 📚

👉 If you’ve ever wondered how systems and culture influence parenting and education — and what this means for raising the next generation — this clip is for you.🎥 For the full conversation, watch the complete episode of On My Own Terms.
