Today on The Parenting Show we are talking about all the different ways families can look. The "traditional" family (married heterosexual couple with 2.5 children) is the minority. Instead we have more step families, same sex parents, adoptive moms, birth moms, a boat load of grand parents and more.
Our guest on the show is Heather Jopling, author of a several children's books that takes a fresh approach to this under represented subject matter. Her own story is fascinating.
If you have questions or comments on this topic, call me today at 2pm ( 1-877-222-5310 ).
Well be giving away some of Heather's books, or you can buy them through her site.
Hi:
We have an author I believe would make a great guest for your radio show.
Her name is Dr. Shefali Tsabary and her book is "The Conscious Parent".
It is a very different approach to "Parenting".
She tries to teach Parents how to NOT imprint their own values and past experiences
on their Children but to Dialogue with them, To both listen and learn from each other.
If you are interested I will be happy to forward you a Complimentary copy of the book.
Kathy
Wishing you all the Beauty and Magic of Spring

Hey Kathy,
Thanks - I twitter with Dr Shefali and already received a copy and I highly recommend it to people! My show is a live TV show so unless she is willing to travel its probably not logistical.
