Let's look at things a little differently. . .
Hi Friends - here’s this week’s column. This grew out of a very funny Sunday afternoon spent with a group of parents who also remember all the perfect kids they never had. Enjoy.

Hi Friends - okay, I’m getting a lot of e-mails asking - “where are you??” because I haven’t been posting regularly. I guess this week’s column is part of the answer (and thanks for all of you who have checked in.)
Meanwhile, I have been doing a lot of work on the new, hour long radio show, “It Takes a Parent,” and many of you have been kind enough to tell me you like the longer format. Please continue to let my producer and me hear your suggestions and comments. And please do NOT miss this week’s show. It is one of my all time favorites, and it is information packed. This week I had the honor of talking with Dr. Calvin Beisner (rhymes with ‘Nice - ner”) He wears many hats, one of which is the National Spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation.
This week, Dr. Beisner and I discuss the growing seduction of many well meaning evangelicals into the global “climate change” political movement, and the devastating repercussion for the poor that could have around the world. You will not want to miss the discussion of the real story about climate change, why and how many Christians in the United States are being misled on this issue, and the principles behind rightly stewarding God’s creation.
And by the way, you may be more than a little surprised (and horrified) to find out where the money to promote much of the global warming “hype” in the Christian community is coming from (this from the Institute for Religion and Democracy)
Do Some “Humanitarians” Hate People?
Here’s another good website for you on this issue:

Be sure to tune in to AM1160/WYLL Chicago at noon on Sunday, listen live at WYLL.com, or check back here later to tune into the show or get a podcast from nationalreview.com.
As always, thanks for stopping by!

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

Hi friends - here’s my column this week.
I’ve always wanted to be an advice columnist - here goes!
Meanwhile, I hope you’ll tune into the radio show on Sunday when I talk to financial adviser David Briggs about Americans and our debt load. He offers two quick and immediate ways to change the way we think about money that I KNOW will change my financial life. I’ve also got some items for the “Hart Beat” section of the show which no one else is talking about. That’s AM1160/WYLL Chicago, noon Sunday (central time) or streaming live at wyll.com. Monday you can get the audio here, and later in the week a podcast from NationalReview.com.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Friends - My children are getting ready for camp, and they are not taking extra cell phones! Hope you like this week’s column.
When Parents Can’t Say Good Bye
I hope you’ll listen to the radio show when we go into more depth on “over-tethered” kids. That’s this Sunday at noon, AM1160/WYLL Chicago, or WYLL.com
Thanks for stopping by.

Here’s this week’s column, responding to a piece in the Wall Street Journal by Sue Shellenbarger, on teens and dating. I think on this one, a lot of parents get bogged down in the details, and miss the big picture. I’m not saying what I offer is “foolproof” - just that it’s a principle that might offer some protection to my kids. I know, as a single mom, it’s protected me in my own relationships.
As always, thanks for stopping by.

Hi Friends - here’s this week’s column about a mom who “dared” to let her child figure a subway out for himself. Why the international outrage? Read on!

Hi friends - here’s this week column. As we approach summer, I couldn’t help but reminisce a bit about some summers past.
I hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend, and thanks for stopping by.
