Let's look at things a little differently. . .
Hi friends – Here’s this week’s column on the upside of all that “religion switching” in America.
(I hope to see some of you at the University Club of Chicago where I’ll be speaking on May 6 information below.)
Thanks for stopping by! – Betsy
Hi friends – I wanted to share a very interesting piece in today’s Wall Street Journal on “Raising Bill Gates” – you know what they say, it takes a parent. . .
Enjoy.
Hi friends – I’m told seats are filling up, so if you’d like to attend this event – and I’d love for you to come – please make your reservations as soon as you can!
Columnist/author Betsy Hart will talk about her book, It Takes a Parent: How the Culture of Pushover Parenting is Hurting Our Kids — and What to do About It,” (Putnam Books) at a lunch at the University Club of Chicago on Wednesday, May 6, at 12 p.m.
A single mom of four young kids, Hart will talk about where our culture went wrong, how parents are too often terrified their kids might not like them (and this hurts their kids!) and how much better off we could and would be if we could learn to use “no” as a complete sentence with our kids!
Betsy is the parenting columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times and hosts the weekly Sunday radio show, It Takes a Parent, on WYLL Chicago. She’s also a regular guest on the FOX News Channel’s “Hannity” show, as part of its Great American Panel.
Plated lunch at 12 p.m., remarks at 12:15 p.m. Books will be available.
Non members of the University Club, please register via the Book Stall in Winnetka, 847-446-8880.

Hi friends – I hope you tune in today to “It Takes a Parent” on AM1160/WYLL at noon or streaming at www.wyll.com. I’ll talk to Shannon Royce of the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation about the global warming hype – and how to combat the political agenda behind it.
And I have several fun segments for the “Hart Beat” part of the show. Hope you can listen today, or after the show here or on www.nationalreview.com.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi friends – here’s this week’s column. By the way, if you are wondering why my friend “Gail” is so wary of sleepovers, it’s because Gail and I, who were classmates in high school, saw this stuff first hand, shall we say. Enjoy.
Thanks for stopping by – Betsy Hart

I wanted to let you know that I’d love to see you on Wednesday, May 6th, when I’ll be speaking at the University Club in Chicago on my book, “It Takes a Parent: How the Culture of Pushover Parenting is Hurting our Kids, And What to do About It” at a noon lunch.

Well, yes according to Christina Hoff Sommers. In a great piece last week in the Washington Post, she described how the Obama Administration is now applying Title IX regulations (those which essentially try to force women into varsity level sports, which always leads to the guys losing spots on their varsity teams) to college science programs. There is only one problem: inspite of mass recruitment efforts, only about 20 percent of hard science courses in college are made up of women.
So, once again to make things “equal” this could have the effect of fewer science spots available to men.
Please notice that the Obama administration is not trying to equalize ratios between men and women in English or education departments which are overwhelmingly female.
Here’s Christina’s piece: A Threat in Title IX
Be sure to tune in today when I have this and lots of fun things to talk about in the “Hart Beat” section of the show too! AM1160/WYLL at noon or streaming live at www.wyll.com or later here or on NationalReview.com

Hi Friends – here’s this week’s column.
By the way, I’ve decided one of the best part of having young kids is getting to see all those young kids movies!
Hi friends – I wanted to let you know about two upcoming appearances I have scheduled:
