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.
