Many of us believe that bullying is more rampant today than in previous decades But is that true? And how do technology and social media shape bullying behavior and its impact today? Most important, what should we be doing to support a deeper understanding of – and more effective response to – this complex problem? Marti & Erin explore these and other questions with Emily Bazelon, Senior Editor of Slate and frequent guest on Comedy Central’s Colbert Report, who has written a fresh and thoughtful book on bullying, Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy.   This week’s Mom Enough guest highlights the importance of building a peer culture that does not accept bullying behavior.

We hear often about the achievement gap, the term used to describe wide disparities in educational outcomes among children of different ethnic backgrounds. For example, although Minnesota historically has ranked well overall on measures of educational attainment, Latino children in Minnesota rank the worst in the nation when it comes to the achievement gap and high school 4-year graduation rates. Given that Latinos are the fastest-growing demographic in Minnesota and the U.S., this gap has huge consequences for our society. This week’s Mom Enough guest, Hector Garcia, is an immigrant from Mexico who became a successful businessman and advisor to policy-makers. He has devoted countless volunteer hours leading efforts to close the achievement gap by investing in early childhood care and education. He draws on all of that experience in this serious and thoughtful conversation with Marti & Erin. As parents, we can be a powerful force in working to make sure all children have a chance to succeed.

Children who bully also are at high risk for a host of long-term problems, so it’s in everyone’s interest to bring an end to this widespread problem. After classmates taunted Carrie Goldman’s adopted daughter for carrying a Star Wars lunchbox, Carrie’s subsequent blog hit the national news. The outpouring of support she and her daughter received inspired Carrie to write Bullied, a book that is packed with proven tips for helping victims, bystanders and bullies themselves turn these destructive patterns around.

We all have experienced those moments when our child’s ability to reason seems to fly out the window and raw emotion takes over. Maybe we counter our child’s intense feelings with words of comfort and calm. Or maybe our own frustration rises and we begin to spin out of control. This week’s Mom Enough guest, UCLA clinical psychiatry professor and popular author Dr. Dan Siegel, draws on recent brain research to offer an effective and innovative framework for teaching our children to understand how their brains work and use that knowledge to achieve balance, insight and strategies for coping with frustration, disappointment and conflict. Marti & Erin are excited to use this framework with the children in their life and they think you will be too!   Think of a recent time when your child had a meltdown, a tantrum or an outburst of anger. How could you have reflected back to your child what was happening in his or her brain? How could this approach help you become more mindful of when your own “downstairs brain” begins to overwhelm your “upstairs brain,” to use Dr. Siegel’s terms?

This week Marty Watson, director of the innovative Dodge Nature Preschool in West St. Paul, MN, joins Marti & Erin for a thoughtful discussion of ways to bring out the scents in your child through play and exploration in nature -- fun and enriching activities for all four seasons of the year!   In what ways have you noticed your child learning through outdoor play and exploration?

Whether your children are toddlers or teens, this week's Mom Enough show is for you!   Many of us remember uncomfortable childhood moments when our parents sat us down for "the talk" or maybe even just awkwardly handed us a book about our changing bodies. But today we know children need much more than facts about sex; they need ongoing information, guidance and support in figuring out who they are as boys and girls, men and women. They need to build respect for themselves and others, and they need to learn what it means to be in healthy, intimate relationships. This week's Mom Enough guest, Judith Kahn (Executive Director of Teenwise), brings years of knowledge and experience to this important topic. And, setting embarrassment aside, Marti & Erin offer candid personal stories of how they have navigated these issues in their own lives as parents.   What was your own experience in learning about sexuality as a child or teen? How do you intend to help your children develop healthy, respectful attitudes about sex, sexuality and intimate relationships?

When we're trying to get a tired toddler or a sassy teen to toe the line, we often find ourselves falling back on force, fear or punishment to resolve the problem. But this week's guest, Dr. Charlotte Kasl, is convinced there is a gentler way that will help our children be more respectful and responsible and will lead us to a deeper understanding of ourselves. It begins with connecting, really listening and recognizing the feelings beneath the behavior, compassionate, peaceful skills we and our children then can take into our communities and the larger world.   What do you think your child would say makes a good parent?
