by As I get closer to the launch of my podcast Parenting for the Future, I’ve been thinking about how we all have different parenting concerns about the future based upon our own life experiences. For example, an essay in Salon looks at the fear of one mother who came late to cooking and now worries that she missed out on teaching her children about the joy of culinary exploration. In Chelsea Clinton’s interview with the LA Times about her new children’s book Don’t Let Them Disappear, she recalls how her favorite childhood books read to her in the White House were “all about supporting imagination and also giving children a safe environment.”
I’ve been sharing these articles — and many others — nightly on my Facebook page, Twitter feed, Pinterest boards and as a weekly round-up on my blog.
Here are my picks for the top parenting stories this week
