			<description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of The Bespoke Parenting Podcast, host Julie Gunlock talks to IWF's Hadley Heath Manning about a recent article published by the American Academy of Pediatrics that declared "withholding [gender-affirming care] is harmful to children and amounts to state-sanctioned medical neglect &amp; emotional abuse." Why is the AAP pushing radical surgical and pharmaceutical interventions for minors? What does this AAP position mean for parent rights? Are doctors going to start reporting parents to authorities?

			<itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of The Bespoke Parenting Podcast, host Julie Gunlock talks to IWF's Hadley Heath Manning about a recent article published by the American Academy of Pediatrics that declared "withholding [gender-affirming care] is harmful to children and amounts to state-sanctioned medical neglect &amp; emotional abuse." Why is the AAP pushing radical surgical and pharmaceutical interventions for minors? What does this AAP position mean for parent rights? Are doctors going to start reporting parents to authorities? Julie and Hadley discuss some of these troubling questions.&nbsp;</p><p>--</p><p><em>The Bespoke Parenting Podcast</em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>about</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>for</em>&nbsp;parents who are tired of being told how to do it. There’s no one way to parent—there are as many ways as there are kids. Parenting styles, strategies, and philosophies should be bespoke—tailor-made to fit you, your family, and most importantly, your kids! Twice a month,&nbsp;<em>Bespoke</em>&nbsp;host Julie Gunlock is joined by a variety of guests who are parenting the way they see fit.&nbsp;</p><br><p>You can listen to the latest&nbsp;<em>Bespoke</em>&nbsp;episode(s) here or wherever you get your podcasts.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>On this episode of The Bespoke Parenting Podcast, IWF Visiting Fellow Heather Hunter sat in for Julie Gunlock and spoke to Chris Stigall, co-host of the parenting podcast "<a href="https://www.makingtheleappodcast.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Making the Leap</a>." They discussed his journey as a dad navigating the pandemic and how the school closures forced their family to make important life decisions regarding education choices for their three children. Heather talked to Chris about the massive migration of families leaving woke states during the pandemic so that they could have better choices for raising their children. He talked about his podcast that he co-hosts with his wife Christine, a former public school teacher, and how the overall experience has been fruitful in bonding their family more than ever.</p><p>--</p><p><em>The Bespoke Parenting Podcast</em>&nbsp;is&nbsp;<em>about</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>for</em>&nbsp;parents who are tired of being told how to do it.

Last year, Nicole found out she was being sued by the teachers' union after a simple request for information from her local school. Julie and Nicole discuss how going from stay-at-home mom to nationally recognized activist mom changed her life and her mothering style, and how having a support system makes it all possible.</p><p>--</p><p><em>The Bespoke Parenting Hour</em>&nbsp;is a podcast&nbsp;<em>about</em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>for</em>&nbsp;parents who are tired of being told how to do it.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>On this week’s Bespoke Parenting Hour, host Julie Gunlock talks to writer and education advocate Erika Sanzi, whe serves as the chief editor at Project Forever Free--an online platform for&nbsp;education activists. Julie and Erika (both moms of three school-aged boys)&nbsp;talk about what Erika calls "the boy crisis in American schools" and the very grim statistics that show&nbsp;boys are falling behind both in school and life. In addition, they discuss why it's become acceptable (even fashionable) in American culture to disparage boys and men and why terms like "the future is female '' and "girls rule" creates an unhelpful (and weird!) "us against them" way of thinking that harms both sexes and creates unnecessary hostility. Julie and Erika also discuss what Erika&nbsp;says is the "narrative that boys are inherently bad or broken" and the media-driven&nbsp;generalizations about boys and men, which suggest they are "unworthy, expendable and deserving of scorn ... just for being male."&nbsp;Tune in!</p><br><p><em>The Bespoke Parenting Hour</em> is a podcast <em>about</em> and <em>for</em> parents who are tired of being told how to do it.
