This is part two of a two-part show!
Ashley Merryman is the co-author with Po Bronson of the New York Times #1 Bestseller NurtureShock. The central premise of this book is that many of modern society’s strategies for nurturing children are in fact backfiring – because key twists in the science have been overlooked. Ahhhh….. So, that’s the problem! NurtureShock has been featured on Good Morning America, Nightline, All Things Considered, Fresh Air, and in Newsweek. Many thanks to Ashley for taking the time to speak with us today!

Our local news radio station, WTOP, has been reporting on a topic that seems to be really coming to a head (no pun intended) lately – kids and concussions. You can read and listen to the segments here. How trained are your kids’ coaches? Do you know? Obviously, if you are a league headed by volunteer coaches, the training may be sketchy. In our area, there is a movement to get these coaches better trained to recognize and deal with concussions. Let us know what you think! Join the conversation at the MommyCast Community!
