This month's Deep Dive series is about flouting parenting rules and advice that don't work for us. Listen to a Spotify playlist of all the episodes in the series here.

Who makes the parenting rules? And how bendable are they? From picky eaters to sleep routines to playing outside, we all have to navigate the line between what we supposedly should and shouldn't allow as parents. But sometimes it's okay to break the rules if it works for you and your family. Amy and Margaret dive into the details in this listener-driven episode.

In this episode, Margaret and Amy discuss:

• The different types of parenting rules


• Which parenting rules they have broken


• "YOYO" dinners

Other episodes we mention:

• Amee Severson on Intuitive Eating


• 
  Ask Amy: Helping Kids Deal with Comparison and Envy 


• Christina Martin on How Children Learn Through Play
