Hands Off Parents

19: Empathy

Informações:

Synopsis

This week Steph and Abby discuss how to be more empathetic as both parents and human beings. How does one raise an empathetic child when the world is filled with horrible people? Can we just stop criticizing each other all the time? Paradoxically, why do we hate on each other but desire approval, too? They also discuss the implications of cyber-bullying, and how to combat this sort of bad behavior in their children. A listener suggests that internet-trolling is mostly fear-based (we love hearing from listeners!). The ladies agree. This sounds really serious but don't worry: They also talk about their evil jerk children. Oh, they are evil, evil children. "Let's stop finding a new witch of the week and stop burning them at the stake. We're all horrible and wonderful and figuring it out." - Harris Wittels GIVE US YOUR APPROVAL: LIKE US ON ALL THE SOCIAL MEDIA!
