Fresh Take: Susan Dominus

What Fresh Hell: Laughing in the Face of Motherhood | Parenting Tips From Funny Moms

What do high-achieving families have in common, and what are some good lessons from them we can replicate in our own parenting? Susan Dominus, author of the new book THE FAMILY DYNAMIC, discusses the forces at play in families with multiple successful members and how we can encourage our kids to succeed in the ways that make sense for them.

Susan Dominus is a staff writer for The New York Times Magazine. In 2018, Susan was part of a team reporting on workplace sexual harassment that won a Pulitzer Prize for public service.

Susan, Amy, and Margaret discuss:

• How socioeconomic status informs family dynamics
• The role that parent expectations play in child development
• Why relationships outside the family are important for kids
