Giving Your Kids Advice That Sticks Roy Wood Jr. A Kids Co. (Re-Run)

(Note: This episode originally ran on November 18th, 2025) When sharing life lessons with our kids, parents can often only hope that these lessons stick. Comedian, actor, and dad Roy Wood Jr. joins Elise Hu to talk about how humor, humility, and honesty has helped navigate parenting and giving his son the tools to thrive in a world without him. Roy shares the most impactful lessons he’s learned, the ones he hopes to teach, and what makes life lessons truly meaningful for families. Key takeaways for parents: Every action you take is an opportunity to learn — kids can and do absorb by observation. Share relatable stories that are relevant to what your kids are going through. Notice who you surround yourself with, and what they contribute to your wellbeing. Give your kid the tools they need to succeed and thrive in a life without you. Be open and ready to accept feedback about your parenting from your kid. ⏱️ Timestamps: Keep the conversation going at home with our FREE Conversation Kit companion guide: Follow Roy Wood Jr. on Instagram: New episodes every Tuesday: YouTube: Apple: Spotify: Or wherever you get your podcasts. 🔗 START HERE 📌 Get free weekly conversation kits: 📌 Browse A Kids Co. books that pair with episodes: 📌 Follow Elise Hu: ABOUT THE SHOW Raising Us | Parenting Podcast for Kids, Tweens, & Conscious Caregivers Award-winning journalist Elise Hu (TED Talks Daily, Forever35) hosts Raising Us, a parenting podcast for grownups raising Big-Question Kids.
