successful parenting | Electric Firefly

A friend of mine Alia AlMoayed has her own radio show which I got to be a guest on. Her show is called Dare to Be Healthy on World Talk Radio. She has had some great inspiring guests on her shows discussing all things from health, nutrition, natural therapy, pregnancy, parenting and much more. Her last episode was with Dr. Lee Hausner who is the author of a book called Children of Paradise. Her interview really struck a cord with me and I have already jotted down the titles of her books to purchase on amazon. I wanted to share this interview with all the parents out there who at times feel like pulling their hair out! It’s alright .. our kids do not come with manuals and instructions; but we do have some great people to learn from and there is an abundance of parenting books out there to help give us guidelines. I have always said that universities and colleges should introduce parenting 101 courses along side public speaking and accounting!! All those college kids will be parents one day and have courses and seminars will only help them and us be better at our jobs, which is just as important if not more than a corporate job.

Dr. Lee Hausner is a senior managing director of First Foundation Advisors. An internationally recognized clinical psychologist and business consultant, she served as the senior psychologist for the Beverly Hills Unified School District for 17 years in addition to establishing a reputation as a highly regarded keynote speaker and seminar leader. She has been a top rated resource for Young Presidents’ Organization for the past 17 years.

Dr. Lee Hausner : Successful Parenting for parents who want to give their children the best of everything yet they are often sadly disappointed with the results as they witness young adults who are poorly motivated, irresponsible, financially demanding and troubled.
