The Kid Is Alright!

This week’s guest Fred Brown, is a father of three and raising his niece Nia in the wake of the death of both of her parents. While navigating her unique trauma, Fred and his village work to assure his niece that she’s not alone. Knowing he would be the one to raise Nia, Fred continues to instill in her the legacy of academic rigor that meant so much to her parents. On the firmer side of things are the whoopings they all endured that are no longer allowed and they trade stories from the trenches. On the softer side is the therapy that they all advocate for. Fred also makes sure to spend individual time with each child, knowing what they like and shares his confusion at their ever-changing interests. As always, FatherShould takes a firm/soft approach, taking us from the most poignant moments of life and loss, and back to the hilarious. Join to hear what Fleming advises parents what to look for in potential godparents and Ms. Von’s tireless defense of Geminis everywhere. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
