The Sound of Ideas - Parenting 101
The Sound of Ideas
 
 
 
At three years old, they're trying to climb into your bed in the middle of the night. At 13, they may not want to be seen with you, especially not at the mall. What's a parent to do? Monday morning at 9, we'll introduce you to two local child psychologists who can answer that question. They'll explain the dangers of "helicopter parents" who hover too close; what happens when parents give young children too much freedom; and what's actually happening in the mind of a child.

Guests

Lisa Damour child clinical psychologist, Co-Director, The Center for Research on Girls at Laurel School
Ethan Schafer child clinical psychologist, consultant to University School and Lawrence School
