Hi friends – it’s all about the economy today – what’s a parent to do?? Tune in to WYLL/AM1160, “It Takes a Parent,” when I talk to Dan Miller, leading Chicago business writer and economic observer, formerly with the Chicago Sun-Times and now with the Heartland Institute. Are the economists overreacting when they predict a real recession? What can a family do to deal with falling home prices, mortgage rate hikes, and maybe 4$ a gallon gas? Tune in to find out at 2:00 central, or later catch the podcast here on on NationalReview.com

I’ll also be introducing you to a new sponsor, Timothy Christian Schools in Elmhurst, which two of my kids attend. They have an open house coming on April 15 – if you are considering a private education, you’ll want to consider Timothy!

As always, thanks for listening!

Hi Friends – I’ll be on Hannity and Colmes tonight talking about the “sexcapades” of so many political figures.  What’s going on with the “double life” phenomena?

I hope you tune in to the FOX News Channel at 9:40 central time when we discuss it!

Cheers – Betsy

Hi Friends – Today’s show is “best of” – I hope you’ll tune in! I talk with Wendy Shalit about her book, “Girls Gone Mild” – in an oversexualized culture, how do we help girls to value what’s truly beautiful about themselves? How do we help our sons to see girls as people, not the sex objects the culture wants to make them into? You can listen at 2:00 central time on AM1160 WYLL, live streaming at WYLL.com, or later today get the podcast here or on NationalReview.com (where you can easily download the podcast).As always – thanks so much for listening!

Hi Friends – here’s this week’s column.  (Sorry, couldn’t do a hot link today.)

In all the discussions, and yet more news stories this week, about girls and sex and STDs, I always feel that something is missing. . .  That’s what I focus on here.  Do you agree?

Hi friends – I hope you’ll listen to the show today. Producer Lynne and I talk to Adele Faber, best selling author, about her books “Siblings Without Rivalry” and “How to Talk so Kids will Listen and Listen so Kids Will Talk” – I may disagree with Adele about her emphasis on “all feelings are okay,” but I like so much of what she writes and it’s been helpful to me as a parent.

I hope you tune in at 2:00 to AM1160/WYLL, or www.wyll.com, or later here or tomorrow on NationalReview.com

(Adele will be speaking in Chicago to the Lincoln Park La Leche League on March 19th! You can find out more here – just paste this into your browser.)

Hi Friends – you’ll want to tune in to “It Takes a Parent” today at 2:00 central, when producer Lynne and I talk to columnist and author Marybeth Hicks about her forthcoming book, “Bringing up Geeks: How to Protect Your Kids in a Grow-up-too-fast World.” Hicks says we should redefine the word GEEK to stand for “Genuine, Enthusiastic, Empowered, Kids.” The question I’ll ask Hicks is “is it we parents who worry too much sometimes about whether our kids are cool?”

You can listen at AM1160/WYLL, www.wyll.com, or tomorrow listen to the show and now get the podcast from NationalReview.com.

As always – thanks for tuning in!
