We all grow up playing a role in our family — the responsible one, the easy one, the funny one. For Kenan Thompson, that role started early. In this episode of How We’re Raised, Dr. Becky talks with Kenan about how becoming “the funny one” shaped the way he connects with people — and what it looks like to parent with more intention today. They discuss: The connection between humor and emotional survival; What made Kenan’s childhood feel grounded despite early fame; Why he’s choosing a different approach to discipline with his daughters; Why he chose to write his new children's book, Unfunny Bunny; And what he hopes his kids will one day say about how they were raised. A conversation about identity, family patterns, and raising kids with both warmth and boundaries.
