Helping Parents Parent Better

In a world full of constant changes in fashion, entertainment, values, and so much more, how can parents keep up? This month Focus on the Family introduces to its daily broadcast a special emphasis, Focus on Your Child's World, offering advice to busy parents raising children in today's changing world.

Tune in to the daily broadcast during the month of October to hear discussions of adolescence and stress, children's needs, single parenting of children and other pertinent parenting topics.

Dr. Dobson's panel of experts will be featured in broadcasts entitled "Encouraging Kids to Lead, Launching into Adulthood, and Teaching Manners to Kids". Other shows will showcase excerpts from Dobson's latest book "Bringing up Boys" and a one-on-one Q & A with kids and parents.

During the month of October, Focus will also be launching a new membership program, Focus on Your Child, geared to parents with children under age 12. Every other month members will receive an age specific newsletter, an audio journal, and materials with practical application for parents.

"Focus on Your Child's World is our way of reminding folks that Focus on the Family offers moms and dads a wealth of practical, Biblical advice about raising children," said co-host of "Focus on the Family", John Fuller. "We encourage our friends to introduce relatives, neighbors and friends to this special month of radio programs."

Focus on the Family is a non-profit Christian organization dedicated to the preservation of the home. Under the leadership of psychologist and best-selling author Dr. James Dobson, Focus has been reaching families worldwide since 1977. Over 80 unique ministries now operate under the Focus umbrella.
