About Parenting For The Present
Do you have this whole parenting thing figured out? Are you the perfect parent? Neither are they. Drs. Early Denison, Matthew Housson and Andy Stoker are three dads but, together, have nearly sixty years of experience cultivating the minds, bodies, and spirits of children, parents, and families through their work as a pediatrician, a clinical psychologist, and a minister. Their goal is to help you raise kids who can thrive in this complex, messy, beautiful world. Rates of anxiety and depression, especially in our kids, are up. Early, Matthew, and Andy believe that challenging this trend starts at home with parents, caregivers, and families. They will share their conversations and connect with other experts in their fields to help you engage your kids, enhance your parenting strategies, and have fun with your family. They don't have all the answers, but they know that we are stronger if we all work together to become more proactive and engaged parents and families.

I mean, what kids need more than anything else in the world, sleep, love, and time to play. But we don't do that, right? I mean, I talked to all these schools. It was a lovely school in Atlanta. And one of the teachers there was saying, well, the parents here all want more homework for their kids. And I said, well, I said, if I may, what grade are you in? Or what grade do you teach? She says, I teach kindergarten. And I said, you know that homework doesn't contribute at all at all to learning in elementary school, right? […]
