Scott Cluthe's Love Cafe

Scott Cluthe interviews Dr.Dathan Paterno. Dr. Paterno is author of the new book, Desperately Seeking Parents:Why Your Child Needs a Parent in Charge and How to Become One. Got kids? Kids got parents? Maybe, maybe not says Dr. Paterno! here are some of his Ground Rules for parents we'll talk about. Call in ! "Parents in Charge is the term I use for those parents who are in control of their families without being too controlling. Of course, Parents in Charge do not have perfect children. Their children can be ridiculous and foolish just as any other children can. However, Parents in Charge do not tolerate such behavior. They expect their children to exhibit superb behavior and reinforce them when they behave well. When their cherubs choose to misbehave, they enforce consequences that make them wish they had behaved better.
