You’ll love today’s conversation
if you look at your little kids and can’t imagine how they could possibly become functioning – never mind happy or successful – adults.
Dad and author Jonathan Greene shares wisdom, and great stories, with us today!
Our conversation is all about how Jonathan went from being a latchkey kid – who was routinely mugged, and didn’t let it bother him – to a hovering father of young children.
Today he’s a dad of teens who’s formed really great bonds with his son and daughter, and shares today about the choices he made that helped develop those bonds.
Go to weturnedoutokay.com/243 for this week’s YouTube video about what to do when your child is sneaking candy and treats that they know are off limits, for the podcast back catalog and all the great links that come up in today’s episode.
And thanks for listening!

The More Than Just a School podcast comes up because it turns out that Jonathan Greene holds the same disdain for standardized, one-size-fits-all, drill-and-kill education that I do : )
