Parenting 101 Plus - Episode 4

Join Paul W. Reeves, Ed.D - a longtime teacher and school principal, and the father of three children - and his guests, as they discuss the world of parenting your children, from birth through age 100! Also included are excerpts and discussions of Paul's parenting book, "A PRINCIPAL'S FAMILY PRINCIPLES - Raising Your Kids to Be Happy and Healthy, While Enjoying Them to the Fullest".

On today's show, in addition to reading the chapter, ""Violent Video Games - A Happy Ending!" from his book, sharing wisdom from others, a bit of humor, and more, Paul played his first interview with Shelley Kenow.

SHELLEY KENOW, a former, longtime Special Education teacher, and now a consultant who helps parents and school personnel navigate the intricate world of Special Education, will join us from Illinois to discuss all that she has done - and is now doing - and to discuss her latest release, 'Those Who "Can't" .... Teach: True Stories of Special Needs Families to Promote Acceptance, Inclusion, and Empathy'. 

FROM HER WEBSITE:

"In my lifetime I've met many parents and caregivers who were overwhelmed by the IEP process, document, and meetings. These parents have shared with me their feelings of confusion, frustration, and loneliness throughout the IEP process. I've also worked with teachers and administrators who felt lost, overwhelmed, and confused by all that special education involves.

My mission is to partner with parents, caregivers, and school districts in understanding Special Education, the IEP document and process, and to find common ground to enhance the education of children with special needs.  

The ultimate goal is for you to feel comfortable in decision making and confident that the IEP is providing a Free Appropriate Public Education by preparing the child for further education, employment, and independent living based upon their unique needs."
