How do we use curiosity with our kids to foster connection? Why it's not helpful to use your kids as a report card for your parenting efforts? And, what does it mean to be sober curious? All this and so much more with Jessica Lahey.

Jessica Lahey is a teacher, writer, and mom. Over twenty years, she’s taught every grade from sixth to twelfth in both public and private schools. She writes about education, parenting, and child welfare for The Atlantic, Vermont Public Radio, The Washington Post and the New York Times and is the author of the New York Times bestselling book, The Gift of Failure: How the Best Parents Learn to Let Go So Their Children Can Succeed and her newest book, The Addiction Inoculation: Raising Healthy Kids in a Culture of Dependence. She is a member of the Amazon Studios Thought Leader Board and wrote the educational curriculum for Amazon Kids’ The Stinky and Dirty Show. 

On this episode, Jessica Lahey and Dr. L get curious about how learning can lead to doing things differently, why parents get caught up in their own kids experience, and how we can become more curious about what's keeping us stuck. Jessica is a powerful force of wisdom and her enthusiasm is contagious!
