They do need to be rescued. There are radicals who are ruining the schools and perfectly, you dedicate the book to Randy Weingarten.

And if you want to take Ted Cruz's advice on the back, he says, "ruin Randy Weingarten's day by reading this book."

I did dedicate it to her. I sent her a signed copy. My handwriting wasn't all that great. I apologize, but it's because I went to government school, so you can't really blame me.

"

A new book called Family Unfriendly: How our culture made raising kids much harder than it needs to be. It's shining a light on the dangers of over scheduling and over working our children.

If you feel guilty that you're not running around like the the biggest tiger mom in the world, the main thing you're doing wrong is feeling guilty about it.

I always talk about supporting culture because sometimes a conservative like me thinks okay, the whole thing is about nuclear family good parents can protect you from bad things. But it's so much harder to keep your kids off social media if all of their friends are using it.

The number one cause of the rise in childhood anxiety is the lack of independent play free from supervision by adults.

Raising kids is a bit like smoking pork shoulder. It's not going to be quick and you do need to check that thermometer from time to time. But you'll get the best outcome if you avoid constantly lifting the lid and prodding the meat.
