Great show this morning! Dr. John Rosemond, noted child psychologist, author, and touring speaker, was just as charming, and down to earth as he could be. We went through child rearing in the age of technology, autism, professional theory and numerous city issues.

As it turns out “Dr. John” was also in a band that opened for REO Speed Wagon. He’s led a very interesting life and now has settled in the Downtown Historic District. Great addition to our city.

Thank you Dr. John, and I look forward to getting the band back together!

If you have questions about rearing children in this confusing age of high energy technology, academic pressures, and an ever more dangerous world, you will not want to miss this Friday’s City Talk. We are speaking with noted author and child psychologist John Rosemond. He is intelligent, experienced and has written extensively on child psychology. Mr. Rosemond has appeared on Good Morning America, The View, the Today Show, CNN, CBS and is now a New Bern resident. I know I have lots of questions ranging from cell phone use, to how a teen should date, to computer limitations for our kids.

We are also talking about the City’s Budget, the farmer’s market issue, and the wisdom of “Cutting our way to Success.â€
