Why Love Alone Is Destroying Kids with Rabbi Ezra Max

What if the way you’re loving your child is actually making things worse? In this episode of the None of Your Business Podcast, Rabbi Ezra Max reveals why modern parenting advice is failing and how saying yes to everything can quietly destroy your child’s future. Drawing from years of working with struggling teens and high-performing families, he explains why most kids don’t want to die, they just want to escape pain, and how parents unintentionally enable that cycle. This conversation breaks down the difference between real love and destructive enabling, why boundaries are essential for trust and growth, and how one simple shift in your approach can completely change your relationship with your child. If you’re a parent, leader, or entrepreneur trying to support others without losing control, this episode will challenge everything you think you know about connection, discipline, and emotional strength.
