books takes your questions. Both of us are moms ourselves, and we're eager to hear from you.

So send us your questions to Ask Lisa at Dr.LisaDemore.com. And you can join our community by

brand new YouTube channel, Ask Lisa Podcast. Episode 143, how do I raise a compassionate child

with special guest, Dr. Tracy Baxley? You know what? I've wondered. What is it in adults who don't have compassion that maybe their

mama could have taught him that could have made a difference? That's my pressing question I want to

know today. You do wonder, right? When somebody just seems to have so little trust in humanity

and willing to sort of expand themselves towards it, you

think, what went wrong along the way? How could that have been redirected at some point

earlier in development than when I'm meeting you this currently unkind adult?

We're going to get an answer to that question today. I hope. That's a really important question.

I've wondered this for quite some time.

Super excited to welcome our guest, Dr. Tracy Baxley. She's a professor, consultant, speaker,

and also a mother to five children. She's the author of Social Justice Parenting, How to Raise

Compassionate, Anti-Racist, Justice-minded Kids in an an unjust world. I love that title. She is dedicated to

supporting families, schools, and organizations in developing their own inclusive practices that

lead to meaningful relationships with a sense of belonging. And Tracy is using her experiences

and her expertise to support parents through the highs and lows of raising compassionate and

independent children in today's complex world. Tracy, welcome.
