Parent Nation, this ain't your mama's parenting show!

Each and every week, Tara tackles all the latest hot button and pop culture issues facing parents and kids. She also dishes up filter-free conversations with her fellow mom friends (you know you want to listen), and introduces you to guests whose take on all things parenting just might make you spit out your drink - or raise a glass in their honor.

This week's show highlights:

GRATITUDE

• Gratitude puts situations into perspective. When we can see the good as well as the bad, it becomes more difficult to complain and stay stuck.

• Gratitude helps us realize what we have. This can lessen our need for wanting more all the time.

• Gratitude strengthens relationships, improves health, reduces stress, and, in general, makes us happier, according to Dr. Emmons.

Our Guests this week:
