How do you raise kind humans?  On the show today, Leigh sits down with writer, podcaster and comedian Sean Szeps. He’s the father of five-year-old twins with his husband Josh. And he’s focussed on making sure they’re always putting empathy and kindness first. And of course, we’re joined by our resident parent educator Gen Muir to talk about how to build empathy and compassion in our kids.  This podcast was made in partnership with the LEGO® DUPLO® Brand. We believe in building happy humans, Start Off Big with LEGO DUPLO. GET IN TOUCH: Feedback? We’re listening!
