  • FC 003: Is My Kid the Problem or Is It Me? - Guest: Joan Ryan (May 10, 2009)
    Kids make lots of mistakes. And they can usually count on parents to remind them when they're not measuring up. But sometimes, the only thing that isn't measuring up is Mom or Dad's notion of the way their child ought to be. In this podcast I talk with Joan Ryan, author of "The Water Giver – The story of a mother, a son, and their second chance" (Simon and Schuster 2009). Joan's book is the gripping story of her son's near-fatal accident and an examination of how the tragic event gave her a new start as the nurturing, accepting mother she always wanted to be.

    As parents, we all want our kids to succeed, and we want them to grow up up to be self-confident. But sometimes what we say we want is at odds with some of our parenting choices.

In this podcast I talk with Joe Bruzzese, M.A. Author of "A Parents' Guide to the Middle School Years" (Ten Speed Press 2009). Joe's book and his ongoing work as a parent coach offer practical advice for building confidence in your child.
