Summer Episode 1: What to watch this summer

Release date: July 21, 2025

This is the first of six mini summer vacation episodes of Talking About Kids. Summer is a time for relaxation and, hopefully, rejuvenation. It is in that spirit that I asked some previous guests to recommend movies or episodes of TV shows to that they find inspirational for their positive depictions of relationships between parents, educators, or direct service providers and kids. The first recommendation comes from Aaron Kupchik, Professor of Sociology and Criminal Justice at the University of Delaware. More information is below.
