March 29, 2018 By Nathaniel Turner

Sorry, Son! I Know That I Worry A Lot!

I worry about my son more than I’d like to and I know more than he’d like me to worry.  He has informed me numerous times both overtly and slyly that he wishes I would stop worrying.  But I can’t stop worrying.  In fact, the older he gets, the more I seem to worry. He often thinks I worry about him making some boneheaded decisions during his ... [Continue Reading]

August 8, 2017 By Nathaniel Turner

Beware of the Fake News Especially About Good Parents

What if I told you much of what you hear about parenting is not true? Fake News!  What if I told you the color of one’s skin, race, creed or national origin has no predictive value on their potential to be a good parent?  Fake News! What if I told you that neither gender, class, or socioeconomic status guarantee that one is more or less likely to ... [Continue Reading]

George asked, “Is this a hobby for you or is this a lifestyle?” My response which surprised even me was that writing, speaking and advocating for children is a revolutionary ... [Continue Reading]

Is Your Child A Chip Off The Old Block?

There is a phrase my son’s grandmother has been fond of using to describe my son and I since his birth. Nearly every time we talk to or see Bibi (Swahili for grandmother), something occurs to make her say chip of the old block.
