Ep. 1: Grandfamilies and Ep. 2: Perfect Parenting

Kathryn interviews pediatrician Andrew Adesman MD, author of "The Grandfamily Guidebook: Wisdom and Support for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren." There are 65 million grandparents in the US, many of whom are the sole caretakers of their grandchildren. Dr. Adesman, a board-certified physician, explores the main pitfalls of raising a family for the second time around. He has been recognized repeatedly as a 'Top Doctor' by New York Magazine, Newsday and many other publications. Kathryn also interviews humorist Dana Bowman, author of "How to Be Perfect Like Me". From the moment their children are born, mothers are under tremendous pressure to be 'perfect'. For moms who struggle with alcoholism, parenting can prove to be especially challenging. Bowman candidly details these struggles in her new book, offering comic relief and encouragement to moms seeking a coping mechanism for the day-to-day expectations and monotonous schedules of family life.
