Cherylyn Harley LeBon – Co-Chairman of the Project 21 National Advisory Board – for “Political Talk.”
Pastor Drew Sams for “Spiritual Talk.”
Dr. Jennifer Weberman (The Parenting Playground) for “Therapy Talk.”
Today’s radio show is inspired by this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, Changing Directions, but we will, as usual, cover a gamut of subjects.
A little Terrain Park action shot with my new GoPro HERO3+ at Park City. I didn’t do much because I don’t “play” in the park. I prefer the half-pipe but it was closed due to the Junior Olympics taking place there.
Jeremy and Justin Bieber
Perhaps the most egregious example of being a LOUSY parent is the “dude” above who not only doesn’t “parent” his son, but enables his crazy behavior. What kind of parent ARE YOU? Are you your kid’s best friend or their best parent? I often write about this topic as it is a favorite subject of mine. It’s MUCH easier being their buddy than being their best parent — but the latter is WHAT THEY NEED! Join us Thursday, March 13 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET as we tackle this subject!
One of my favorite sayings about being a parent is that you must be your kid’s best parent, not their best friend. Far too many parents are concerned about being their kid’s buddy, being liked by their kids, and by their friends. Sure, it’s cool to be in the good graces of our children, but that is NOT our job. Our job is to educate, raise, and equip our children to live good and productive lives. Our job is not to be their entertainment director and master of good times.
Ahhh, the old double standard – it can go both ways, can’t it?

Featured guests:
Glamazon Tyomi – for talk about sex and our kids.
Dr. Jennifer Weberman (The Parenting Playground) for “Therapy Talk.”
Today’s radio show is inspired by this week’s #DadChat topic: Work/Family Balance.
We often hear the expression Work/Life Balance. I prefer Work/Family Balance because we are all in some sort of family and that is the struggle and challenge we all face these days. Let’s look at what we can and cannot do to ease this conundrum. And, let’s look at it with #DadChat friend Kimunya Mugo from Kenya – LIVE from Kenya – on Thursday, March 6 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. Lead by Choice is Kimunya’s blog.
