Cherylyn Harley LeBon – Co-Chairman of the Project 21 National Advisory Board – for “Political Talk.”
Today’s radio show is inspired by this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, No One Said It Would Be Easy (Being a Parent). But, as always, we’ll talk about whatever is on our minds!
This Thursday November 21, from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET, we are discussing Driving Safety. For the first time we have a teenager who will be the co-host. Brett Jonas aka @BookSquirt has been a regular participant at #DadChat for several months. After her family had a very stunning experience with a car accident, saving lives from a fiery crash, she felt motivated to take on this important discussion.

Special Guest, Heather Solos, talking about suicide.
Today’s radio show is inspired by this week’s “A Dad’s Point-of-View” column, Rescue Me: Over-Protective, Helicopter Parents.
In this era of Helicopter Parents and more government entitlements and “babysitting,” it’s no wonder our children aka young adults, are less and less able to take care of themselves. Pampered, spoiled, entitled, dependent, are some of the words that come to mind when I think about older teens and young people in college and recent graduates. Why is this the case? Like most social issues, it isn’t black or white, but a combination of factors, which I’ll try to illuminate from this dad’s point of view.

My second son at 13 months!
It’s yours truly’s birthday November 8 but we’re going to start the party early with Parent Choice at #DadChat Thursday, November 7 from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. PT/9:00 – 10:00 p.m. ET. That means we all talk about whatever is on our minds!
No one likes to lose but the irony is that losing is often better for us. I love Bruce Springsteen’s music (hate his politics) and I think he covered this idea so well in “Glory Days” where he sings about the high school baseball star who reflects on those days in high school where he probably “peaked,” along with the cute cheerleader who is now divorced and taking care of her kids, alone.
