Episode Description from the Publisher

Parents, listen up. Do any of your kids struggle to find belonging on a sports team or even in the lunchroom? Maybe they need to try community theater … because, as Julie Baumann says, it’s a magical place where kids (and adults, too) can build confidence, self-esteem, empathy, pride, and humility. Theater teaches hard work, dedication, and flexibility … and it’s where all of us can experience success, find belonging, and discover who we are at the core. Also in this episode: Griffin Valiant takes his first turn as stage manager for Disney’s Jungle Book Kids.
