Listen now | Whatever happened to good rock 'n' roll is also what happened to manhood, apparently. ParentGuru: Better Parenting Starts Here Thousands of stressed parents are finding their way to better parenting with the help of ParentGuru. Parenting With Love and Leadership
I looked forward to reading your comments in my local paper each week until you stopped writing it. I am an early subscriber to your sub-stack and listen to your podcast religiously. As I have just completed listening to the one about putting "man" back into manhood I found myself pondering a question. I mostly agree with your assessment of the current state of affairs ... I am a boomer about 6-years younger than you. I see many of the same issues you report ... I do not have any formal psychological training. I think your historical and current assessments are spot on. The question is: As a 71-year old relegated to observer status in today's child-rearing arena what can I and others actually do to effect change at this point, or am I destined to watch the continued decline in the state of child-rearing in the United States?
Thank you for your kind and gracious words concerning my writings. You've asked a good question. Unfortunately, I may not have an equally good answer. When it comes to the raising of their children, I am of the distinct impression that today's young parents will not listen critically to an older person, much less and older person who does not tell them they are the most amazing parents who've ever lived.
I do mean to market you, but a good number of older folks (of grandparent age) have come through my parent coach training program. Being able to call yourself a "certified parent coach" may open some ears.
