In a recent episode of "The Parent Chat," comedian Tig Notaro opened up about a piece of parenting wisdom she received from her stepfather following her mother's funeral. The advice, which she described as deeply impactful, was: "I realize now that it is not the child’s responsibility to teach the parent who they are. It’s the parent’s responsibility to learn who their child is."
Notaro and host Dylan Dreyer discussed the joy of discovering a child's evolving identity. The full episode is available now on "The Parent Chat," wherever you listen to podcasts.
