Parent Talk Episode 15 – Divorce

This show on the effect of divorce on kids was a pretty powerful one, I think. The two guests really played off each others strengths.

Guests: Madan Ahluwalia, family lawyer, and Leena Khanzode, a child and adult psychiatrist trained at Stanford.

Please send feedback and ideas to radio@indiacc.org.

Show sponsored by the India Community Center.

Parent Talk Episode 13 – Cheating

In this show we talked about how common cheating is in today’s schools and what might be the reason for the increase in cheating over the years. Are kids cheating because of the pressure? Is digital piracy lowering the standards for ethical behavior?

Guests: Sukanya Goswami, teacher at Newark Memorial High School, and Kevin Zhai, student at Mission San Jose High School in Fremont.

Please send questions and feedback to radio@indiacc.org.

guineapigI attended this event last year, and highly recommend it for parents looking for interesting ways to occupy their kids this summer. I found about Sulphur Creek’s internship program in Hayward, and also about other animal rescue opportunities. (My teen was into nature those days.) There are lots of other interesting opportunities, both to volunteer and to learn.
