What makes a family?
In this special Little Kids, Big Hearts episode, our host, Todd Loyd, is joined by educator and composer Benjamin Weiner to share a brand-new original song inspired by kids’ own words about family.
After revisiting what children shared in our kidventure episode — "Who's In My Family?" — Benjamin explains how he listens closely to kids’ language, rhythms, and ideas and turns them into music. The episode premieres his original song "I’ve Got My Family," a joyful song celebrating families of all shapes and sizes, and reminding kids that love is what matters most.
✨ In this episode, kids and families will:
Hear a song created directly from kids’ voices
Explore what family means beyond who lives in your home
Celebrate routines, traditions, and everyday moments
Feel affirmed that their family is “just right”
🎶 I’ve Got My Family was written and performed by Benjamin Weiner and inspired by the words of kids on the Little Kids, Big Hearts podcast.
