Deep dives

The power of asking 'how are you doing?'

In this podcast episode, the importance and impact of asking 'how are you doing?' is discussed through the example of Martin Luther King Jr. In the segregated south, where opportunities were limited, King's simple question made people feel seen and cared for. This small act of social grace, asking about someone's well-being instead of their actions or achievements, can also be applied in parenting. Instead of focusing on outcomes or assumptions, parents are encouraged to ask their children how they feel or if everything is okay. This shows genuine care, fosters connection, and validates their emotions.
