    Although my kids are raised, we are now navigating life as grandparents to 10 with two of them being adopted at age of seven and four from the foster care system. Dr. Kathy offers excellent insight into all things related to raising kids in today’s crazy culture.As a former high school teacher, I really appreciate all the knowledge she brings in an easy to understand way.

The fact that Dr Kathy is critiquing someone who he wasn’t familiar with and obviously didn’t understand how she suggests implementing her ideas, is poor taste... more

  • “Kind of”

    Excellent content. But maybe Wayne could tighten up his monologues and questions and drop the phrase “kind of”.
