In recent years, gentle parenting has become popular among parents but it sometimes can be challenging to pull off. With its emphasis on building connections and acknowledging feelings, this parenting philosophy helps children feel supported and valued while giving parents the tools to calmly guide them as they grow and develop.

Yet, while this approach seems infinitely better the authoritarian styles of previous generations, parents often find that it can be challenging to execute with kids that are more strong-willed and oppositional. And because these kids can be so challenging and exhausting, many parents often give up on gentle parenting, concluding that it is unrealistic and just plain doesn’t work.

But parents can be gentle and still get their kids to be much less argumentative and far more willing to do what they’re asked. As leading child and family expert Dr. Paul Sunseri reveals in GENTLE PARENTING REIMAGINED: How to Make It Work with Oppositional and Defiant Kids (Routledge paperback, on sale December 6, 2024), there are practical, effective, evidence-based solutions that drastically reduce (or even eliminate!) common daily behavioral challenges. And these solutions are based on a respectful, loving style that today’s parents prefer.

Whether they are contending with children who are disrespectful, refuse to listen, resist responsibilities, or are unable to regulate their emotions, parents can access a fresh toolbox of effective methods for solving these challenges in this illuminating guidebook. Detailing the nuance that makes each of his strategies so unique and powerful, Sunseri demonstrates how parents can expertly address their kids’ problem behavior by calmly disengaging when things get heated, not ever having to raise their voices, avoiding communication traps, setting limits and boundaries, and solving daily behavioral issues without a fight.

Also addressing the unique challenges of the twenty-first century, Sunseri provides parents with novel tips and strategies to help kids get things done in a world full of digital distractions. From chores and homework to driver's licenses and part-time jobs, GENTLE PARENTING REIMAGINED helps parents successfully motivate their kids and teens to achieve their goals and embrace a sense of accomplishment and self-worth.

Drawing on over forty years of clinical experience working with strong-willed kids and their families, Sunseri presents invaluable insight and guidance to frustrated parents who feel defeated by well-meaning parenting advice that just doesn’t work with more challenging kids. Written in an accessible and conversational style, GENTLE PARENTING REIMAGINED offers both parents and therapists everything they need to help families create harmonious, loving, and supportive environments with kids who are far better behaved and respectful.

Waylon Jennings. The face of the 1970s Outlaw Country Movement was barely known outside of Nashville when he took the stage at Max’s Kansas City in New York City in, the nightly hangout spot for avant-garde artist Andy Warhol and his Factory brood, in January 1973. This musical hotbed of the glam rock movement, which also helped launch the careers of Bruce Springsteen, Bob Marley, Emmylou Harris and others, was the unlikeliest place for a country and western singer, but Waylon passed muster. In his latest article for the Strange Brew, music historian Scott G. Shea breaks down this legendary performance that lifted Waylon into the public consciousness, but perhaps more importantly, lays out the dozen or more years of trial, error and frustration Waylon went through to get to this point.

I would love to coordinate having Scott G. Shea, leading music historian and author of the best-selling book, “All the Leaves Are Brown: How the Mamas & the Papas Came Together and Broke Apart,” on your program to discuss the long and complicated rise of Waylon Jennings; from Nashville outsider to international superstar and father of Outlaw Country. Scott beautifully sets the scene of how the young singer came to Nashville from Phoenix in the mid-1960s and overcame its tight studio system with help from some pretty incredible people.

This is C.T.C.S.   

 The latest edition of America’s best-selling reference book documents the milestones that made the year 2024 unique and will serve as your number one source for years to come.

“The World Almanac has been the source for definitive data and answers to questions on any subject since 1868,” said Sarah Janssen, executive editor of The World Almanac. “In a year of major change in the United States and around the world, the new edition of The World Almanac documents all the major moments to give a source of historic perspective and new understanding to any curious reader.”

David Roberts was Whitney Houston's bodyguard, the real one.

Roberts was hired in 1988 for Houston's UK portion of the Moment of Truth world tour. Accustomed to working for diplomats and Fortune 500 clients, Roberts had reservations about working with a pop star. But Houston's heart of gold won him over from the moment they met at Heathrow airport.

There's a high bar for those who work in this business: you must be willing to die for your boss. Houston made that easy. Roberts got to travel the globe with one of the most fun-loving and generous souls he'd ever met. His memoir reveals heartwarming anecdotes of life with one of the world's most recognizable stars, including privately shared moments such as the birth of Bobbi Kristina.

But there are also shocking and heartbreaking revelations. Roberts was present for some of Houston's most challenging ordeals. And he was helpless as he watched those who claimed to love and support her look the other way because they saw her voice box as a cash machine.

His heart was ultimately shattered as he witnessed her succumb to the one threat he could not protect her from: herself.
