How to Raise Kids Who Aren't A$$holes with Melinda Wenner Moyer

On social media, in the news, and even from the government, children are receiving the message that being selfish, obnoxious, and cruel is okay. Research tells us that hate crimes among children and teens is on the rise while compassion and empathy are dropping. How are we as parents supposed to raise kind and compassionate kids when they're constantly exposed to imagery, negativity, and division that influences how they view the world? Melinda Wenner Moyer is a science and parenting journalist and author. She is a contributing editor at Scientific American magazine and a regular contributor and former columnist at The New York Times. Her first book, How To Raise Kids Who Aren’t Assholes, was published in July 2021 and won a gold medal in the 2022 Living Now Book Awards.
