Hi Friends - I wanted to let you know that this Sunday morning, 10:30 on
CBS/channel 2, I’m the featured “Chicago personality” on the “hot seat” with Rob
Johnson. We talk about a lot of parenting issues - it’s a fun segment and I
thought you might want to know.

Then Sunday at noon, I’ll be taking your phone calls on “It Takes a Parent” as we talk about a lot of hot parenting issues - overagressive (or is it just “confident”?) young teenage girls pursuing boys, and hear what some experts say about girls dressing “sexy” - it’s all good in their view. Plus, new studies say parenting is depressing. But that doesn’t depress me -we’ll talk about it on Sunday. Tune in to AM1160/WYLL Chicago, or listen live at www.wyll.com, and get ready to call at 847-956-5042

Hi friends - here’s this week’s column, the second of two parts. I hope you find it helpful! (I already have).

my column

Anyway, the kids and I are back from “family camp,” (following three of them doing two week
camps. . . ) I never got to go to camp as a kid, what can I say? I guess I’m making up for it now.

So, check back for more regular posts, including later today some announcements about this weekend.

Have a great one - Betsy

Yep - Hi friends.  I’ve been “off” this week because I’ve been enjoying a wonderful family camp (in blazing hot Missouri) with my kids.  (We just finished the “high ropes” course.    That’s about as much as much excitement as I can handle for a day!) In any event, just a quick post of this week’s column - it’s all about dollars, and some sense (cents?)

You’ll have to paste in the link this week. . .

Meanwhile, be sure to tune in to tomorrow’s radio show.  With kids heading back to school in just a few weeks - some sooner -  I talked with Jeanne Allen, head of the Center for Education Reform in Washington, D.C.  From how to approach a school to get what you want as a parent, to the state of education reform around the county and why it matters, to the reason we shouldn’t always believe those “great” school standardized test results, Jeanne covers it all.

I think you’ll also enjoy some of the topics int he “heart beat” section of the show - that’s wehre I get to talk about the news topics you aren’t hearing about anywhere else.

I hope you take time to listen live at noon, central time on WYLL/AM1160 Chicago or streaming live on www.wyll.com, or here on Monday or later in the week get a podcast from NationalReview.com.

As always, thanks for stopping by!
