Our kids are constantly changing. Advice for parents is, too. So, we phoned in friends and called in an expert. Watch "Parenting SOS: Expert Answers to Your Burning Questions," an intimate hour of conversation with Laura Kastner, Ph.D., an internationally recognized clinical psychologist, author, researcher and veteran parent. We selected a diverse group of parents to ask some of our most burning parenting questions, and then we opened up Q&A to our live audience.
They asked us anything. No, really. Bullying, conflict with peers and/or classmates, temperament, behavioral problems, neurodiversity, LGBTQIA issues, racism, religious bias, political partisanship, school policies, homework, social exclusion and cell phone/media usage — any topic was fair game.
