How to Raise An Emotionally Intelligent Child (with Jamilah Lemieux)

Today, Jamilah (Slate's Mom and Dad Are Fighting) explains how her 6 year old has taught her patience she never thought was possible. She also reflects on the importance of being vulnerable and open with our children, and owning up to our mistakes, in order to help them cultivate those qualities within themselves. “It’s not enough to simply say my child is well-fed or well dressed or goes to a good school. We have to think about nurturing their spirits."

We get better instructions for putting together furniture than we do for raising actual human beings. And that doesn’t even account for how to do it amid a global pandemic and civil/political unrest. That’s why Season 2 of Good Kids features a compelling mix of perspectives on child-rearing — from parents and experts, authors and actors, to "good" kids themselves — imparting wisdom for a brief, but potent, 10(ish) minutes each week. Good Kids isn’t just another parenting podcast. It’s an all-hands-on-deck discussion about what we can do to help children create a better world. Collectively.
