TMIT 25: Culture Eats Parenting for Breakfast
Update: 2025-09-01
Description
TMIT 25 🎙: This week we’re talking about the difference between parenting and building family culture, using a framework from Scaling People by Claire Hughes Johnson. Parenting is a lot like management—it creates stability through routines and logistics. But building family culture is leadership. It’s about shaping values, vision, and identity.
We share how this shift in language helped us better understand what we’re doing at home—and why it matters now more than ever.
In this episode:
- Parenting = management: routines, schedules, discipline, logistics
- Culture = leadership: vision, values, identity, belonging
- Where this idea comes from: leadership drives change, management creates stability
- What it looks like at home: family meetings, shared rituals, catchphrases
- Why now: we’re not in survival mode—we’re ready to build
- What it’s really about: not achievement, not optimization—just enjoying life together and giving our kids something solid to stand on
We’d love to hear how you’re thinking about culture at home. If you’re trying something—rituals, values, systems, whatever—send it our way. We’ll try it and share what we learn.
