Good Kids

What is a “good” kid? And how do we raise them? For 15 minutes each week, a diverse set of parents, teachers, policy makers, current kids, and extraordinary former kids (current adults) grab the mic and offer relevant advice, rants, and reflections on shaping good humans. This isn’t just another parenting podcast—it’s a manual.
