Christy, Chief Parent Officer at Colugo, is joined by Shanna Hocking, founder of Be Yourself Boldly and Associate VP of Individual Giving at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Christy and Shanna chat about family size and how to foster independence and empathy in your kid. As a mom to a preteen, Shanna has a valuable perspective on the joys that come as your kid grows up to give parents of little ones lots to look forward to, whether you have 1 kid or a bigger crew.

Mentioned in this episode: the joy of summer camp, why you shouldn’t believe what you hear about only children, and Shanna’s podcast One Bold Move a Day.
