What if you could solve your family frustrations, relieve stress and strengthen your relationships just by understanding the personality styles of the people around you?

Would it help to know that your kid is disorganized and energetic because he's an Otter?

Imagine growing up knowing there was something unique and different about you, but no one ever told you what that "something" was until you were 22 years old...and then they told you it was Asperger's Syndrome. What would you feel? How would you cope? What would you share with others?

How does a passionate Wife, Career Woman and Mother commute seamlessly between Wall Street and Sesame Street? Well, according to my guest Wendy Levitt, author of At the Corner of Wall and Sesame...she would probably drive the family taxi!

All things considered, a woman's role in today's society is anything but "equal", but the truth is, we, the women, are probably the cause of our own stress and chaos.

The horror that struck parents and schools all over the country when Penn State announced the Sandusky Sex crimes started a wave of uproar and anger that engulfed a nation. How could parents let this happen? Why didn't anyone tell? Why didn't anyone know!? Who investigates these coaches? How can we stop this from happening again?

Yet millions of children started school or community sports this fall and I'd bet very few parents know about the qualifications or background of their coaches. Did you know that volunteer coaches outnumber school employee coaches 6 to 1 in this country? And the US has no regulation of qualifications for volunteers!

Join in the conversation as my guest Dr John Mayer, author of Family Fit and The Parents mini-manual Series, and I discuss this very real and very scary topic of coaches and other volunteers in our children's lives as well as how to open up conversations with our kids that keep us all in the know without turning our kids into "victims" or making them feel threatened.

Listen in as I have a sit down and chat with Maria Marinakis of 10 Minute Parenting and we talk about all things "ease" when it comes to raising kids.

From the 3 Top tips that will virtually wipe out 75% of behavior problems, to How You Can Sleep Your Way to Parenting Success! Maria and I share tools, suggestions and ideas to make real changes in you and your child's behavior today!

The current Presidential election is being credited with being the most polarizing campaign in history.

Friends and neighbors are feuding or not speaking at all and our kids are right in the thick of it.

Schools are canceling mock elections and social studies classes will not allow discussion of politics in

"current affairs".

How is all of this “bad behavior” affecting our kids and their view of politics and Government?

Join me and my guests Nancy Buck www.peacefulparenting.com and Dan Gutman, author of Election! A Kid's Guide to Picking Our

President, as we talk politics from a kid's point of view.

Whether you're a Democrat, Republican, Independent, or none of the above, if you're a parent, this is a must listen..
