The Power of Promises

We’ve all had some experiences with promises: made, kept, broken. Some of our promises are big and important—oaths in court, or wedding vows. Others are small and almost accidental, things we may not even notice are promises. As parents these promise-making habits are even more important because of the way they affect our children. Whether we break or keep our word, our kids are learning from our actions. Dr. Carl Pickhardt joins us to discuss the power of promises. His most recent books are Surviving Your Child’s Adolescence, Boomerang Kids, and Why Good Kids Act Cruel.
