On Purpose with Jay Shetty
Emilie Kiser EXCLUSIVE: The Loss That Changed Her Forever
"Every parent gets distracted. Every parent has things that naturally you could be going to the bathroom that you have a moment where your eye isn't on your child. Make sure that you have every other barrier so that God forbid something happens, you're able to act."
Emily Kaiser contradicted the common parenting advice of constant vigilance, arguing that realistic drowning prevention requires multiple physical barriers including pool fences, ISR swim lessons, door alarms, and pool sensors. She acknowledged choosing a pool net over a fence was a decision she now regrets. Her message challenges the unrealistic expectation that parents can watch children 100% of the time.
