FAMILY FIRST: Child - Rearing: Back to Basics With Dr. Robert E. Kay

Parenting seems to be in crisis today. The court case in Mississippi now in the
news about an assistant school principal paddling a child who was seriously
injured when he fainted afterwards, is bringing into stark focus the question of
what kind of discipline today's children need and from whom. How can parents
decide what is the best way for them to raise their children? Especially when as
parents they are hard pressed with economic stress, time stress, and widely
different advice from all sides? My guest this week is Dr. Robert E. Kay, a
psychiatrist who has worked with families for decades. He urges parents to return
to the basics of child-rearing and he will share some powerful ideas which can
help parents to make the best decision for their family and to help prevent
problems later. Dr. Kay has wide familiarity with the many theories of child-
rearing and believes parents can work with their children instead of against them
to gain their cooperation and their respect.
