As parents we face tough decisions on a daily basis, many of which are choices that we have to make on behalf of our children. Very often these choices vary from parent to parent as well as from mom to dad. There is tons of information coming from experts but it’s time parents have their voices heard too!

Join Laura & Heather as they lead a panel of parents during a round table discussion on current parenting hot topics. Moms, dads, grandparents, caregivers, neighbors, and more will be joining our show to share their opinions on the tough stuff of parenting.

This week’s topics include:

• Helicopter Parenting v. Free-Range Parenting
• Public v. Private Education
