New Parent Footprint Podcasts: Building Resilience with Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg & Homework Wars with Greg Pincus
|
Dr. Dan Peters welcomes two authors who are both fathers - and both passionate about parenting.
First, Dr. Dan talks about resilience with Dr.
 Kenneth Ginsburg, a professor of pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, practicing doctor of adolescent medicine at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and author of several books including
Building Resilience in Children and Teens: Giving Kids Roots and Wings, and a proud father.
Dr. Ken defines resilience as "The capacity to rise above difficult circumstances, allowing our children to exist in this less-than-perfect world, while moving forward with optimism and confidence." He explains how parents (and other loving adults in a child's life) are the keys to building the foundation of success for all children.
Dr. Dan and Dr. Ken dispel many unhealthy myths about parenting including that teens don't care what their parents think about them or that teens just don't care about anything. Listeners learn that parents are EVERYTHING, especially to their adolescents.
 Next, Dr. Dan welcomes author Greg Pincus to the podcast to talk about "the Homework Wars" including Greg's experience, his research, and his solutions for how parents can deal with this never-ending battle.
Greg is a novelist, poet, screenwriter, blogger, speaker, and social media consultant. He and his work have been featured in the New York Times, and the Washington Post. His latest novel is The Homework Strike.
Dr. Dan agrees that parents have to do what is right for their own children - including when it involves homework.
