CtV Podcast 13: A Glimpse Into the Relationships of Parents and Their Young Adult Children

Cultivating the Virtues is pleased to present the 13th episode at long last! Please know that we are aware of some technical issues--I have a lot of static on my mic, but believe us when we say that it was much worse before Brendan, tech god, got a hold of the files! Please bear with us while we work through some of these issues (which will likely exist on the next podcast, too, since we recorded them at the same time).

• Topic: A view of what it's like to be the parent of a young adult (begins 7:06)

Cultivating the Virtues Q&A

Jenn and I need more questions! We want to hear from YOU! (Imagine a picture of me wearing that Uncle Sam suit and pointing right at you menacingly.) So, Jenn, the good fairy of technical operations for Cultivating the Virtues, made us a Google Moderator question box thingy. So please ask us stuff.

Jenn writes, "So is there something you've been wondering about Positive Discipline or Objectivism? Is there a specific challenge you are trying to handle with your own kid that you'd like another Mommy Opinion about? Do you think we are really off-base with all of this non-punitive discipline stuff and want to challenge us? Well then, please head over to our question page and ask us! And vote up good questions from others, too."
