Charlie and Erika Kirk's Practical Advice on Parenting and Family Formation

Showing 6 Parenting Advice videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.

Parenting advice throughout this material centers on Charlie and Erika Kirk's shared views on raising children within a conservative, faith-centered home, discussed most directly during an appearance at Turning Point USA's Student Action Summit where Kirk argued that modern parents have become too permissive and that third-wave feminism has damaged family formation more broadly. In a separate campus exchange, Kirk challenged a young woman directly on personal accountability while recommending a book containing practical life advice for young men and women, including guidance on avoiding excessive educational debt and prioritizing family formation early. Kirk applied Aristotle's hierarchy of the good to his own balancing act between fatherhood, marriage, and public political leadership elsewhere, arguing that the modern self-esteem movement has done lasting damage by prioritizing feelings over self-control and service. He separately advised parents to delay giving children smartphones until adulthood, comparing social media companies to drug dealers engineering deliberate addiction. Following Charlie's death, Erika Kirk gave a notably personal account to Megyn Kelly of grieving the family she and Charlie had planned to grow further, describing both the two children she has and the loss of the additional children they hoped for.
