Ep 5: Taking pressure off "growing up"
Sean Szeps has built an enormous online audience impersonating his children and making us laugh about the messy realities of modern parenting. But that ‘job’ didn’t even exist when he was growing up. And naturally, one of his eight-year-old twins now wants to be a KPop demon hunter… who doesn’t? In this episode of MINTED KIDS, we talk about prepping your kids for the future… with FUN at the fore. Sean – who is originally from the United States – also shares his insights about how Aussie parents can temper the very different money attitudes that can (maybe worryingly) seep through to our kids from exposure to American TV and culture.
