Leonard Sax
Beth and Andrew welcome family physician and author, Dr. Leonard Sax, who shares his views on how both parenting and children have changed over the 30+ years he has practiced family medicine, particularly how the scourge of cell phones, social media and pervasive pornography have impacted our nation’s youth.
He also talks about the exploding social contagion of gender dysphoria and trans ideology, especially among girls. Sax passionately implores parents to reclaim their proper role vis-à-vis their children, and to find a better schooling environment if the values of their children’s schools aren’t consistent with their family values.
Sax has a PhD in psychology and an MD, both from the University of Pennsylvania. He has practiced family medicine for over 30 years and has also led workshops and given keynotes based on his visits to more than 460 schools over the past 21 years. He is the author of four books for parents: Why Gender Matters (Doubleday), Boys Adrift, Girls on the Edge, and the NY Times bestseller, The Collapse of Parenting (Basic Books). He has been a guest on many television shows, including The Today Show, and his essays about a wide range of child and adolescent issues have been published widely. Videos of some of his TV interviews, and some of his articles, can be found at www.leonardsax.com.

Procreate those W-2 slaves!
I’m staying at my son’s house through Christmas and am astounded by the authority my 14-year old granddaughter is given in their household. Her mother asks her what she wants for dinner, and we all eat her choice, she invites friends to spend the night before asking her parents, she decides her parents needed to pay for an expensive remodel of her bathroom and I could go on and on. I really can’t enjoy my own granddaughter because she is self-centered and spoiled. It’s so obvious to me that she is sorely in need of parents to set limits, but they act like they want to be her friend instead. The tail is wagging the dog.
Sadly, your experiences are not uncommon.
