No matter where you live, or your religious or political views, the odds are good that most parents share one common goal...

we don’t want our kids to be A-holes.

Join us in this podcast episode as we sit down with science journalist, columnist for The New York Times, and author of the book How To Raise Kids Who Aren’t Assholes, Melinda Wenner Moyer. Melinda is a mom to two boys, living in New York’s Hudson Valley. She digs into the science on raising kind, compassionate, worldly kids and translate it for a lay audience.

We have a lively conversation about why it may not be a good thing to parent the exact same way as your friends or family do, why it’s good to make mistakes as a parent, how contingent love can raise an a-hole, and what you can do to raise your kids to be kind and compassionate.
