Let's look at things a little differently. . .
Hi friends - here’s a piece I recently wrote for the Chicago Daily Observer. Are your school kids, like mine, being encouraged to recycle in order to “save trees”? You’ll want to read this. Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Friends - okay, I’m getting a lot of e-mails asking - “where are you??” because I haven’t been posting regularly. I guess this week’s column is part of the answer (and thanks for all of you who have checked in.)
Meanwhile, I have been doing a lot of work on the new, hour long radio show, “It Takes a Parent,” and many of you have been kind enough to tell me you like the longer format. Please continue to let my producer and me hear your suggestions and comments. And please do NOT miss this week’s show. It is one of my all time favorites, and it is information packed. This week I had the honor of talking with Dr. Calvin Beisner (rhymes with ‘Nice - ner”) He wears many hats, one of which is the National Spokesman for the Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation.
This week, Dr. Beisner and I discuss the growing seduction of many well meaning evangelicals into the global “climate change” political movement, and the devastating repercussion for the poor that could have around the world. You will not want to miss the discussion of the real story about climate change, why and how many Christians in the United States are being misled on this issue, and the principles behind rightly stewarding God’s creation.
And by the way, you may be more than a little surprised (and horrified) to find out where the money to promote much of the global warming “hype” in the Christian community is coming from (this from the Institute for Religion and Democracy)
Do Some “Humanitarians” Hate People?
Here’s another good website for you on this issue:

Be sure to tune in to AM1160/WYLL Chicago at noon on Sunday, listen live at WYLL.com, or check back here later to tune into the show or get a podcast from nationalreview.com.
As always, thanks for stopping by!

Hi friends - hope you’ll call in to “It Takes a Parent” today at noon central time. AM1160/wyll, or streaming on wyll.com. We’re going to try to get to a lot of topics, but we’ll start by talking about the mom who created an international uproar when she allowed her 9-year-old son to ride the NYC subway by himself. I say good for her, but a lot of folks think I’m crazy too.
Are we overprotecting our kids? Are we denying them the lessons that would teach them to handle adversity and roll with life’s punches? I think so.
Or, do we live in an age when we have no choice but to be a little overprotective if we want to be good parents? Give me a call at 847-956-5042.
I Look forward to hearing from you - Betsy Hart

Hi Friends - I wanted to let you know that this Sunday morning, 10:30 on
CBS/channel 2, I’m the featured “Chicago personality” on the “hot seat” with Rob
Johnson. We talk about a lot of parenting issues - it’s a fun segment and I
thought you might want to know.
Then Sunday at noon, I’ll be taking your phone calls on “It Takes a Parent” as we talk about a lot of hot parenting issues - overagressive (or is it just “confident”?) young teenage girls pursuing boys, and hear what some experts say about girls dressing “sexy” - it’s all good in their view. Plus, new studies say parenting is depressing. But that doesn’t depress me -we’ll talk about it on Sunday. Tune in to AM1160/WYLL Chicago, or listen live at www.wyll.com, and get ready to call at 847-956-5042

Hi friends - here’s this week’s column, the second of two parts. I hope you find it helpful! (I already have).
Anyway, the kids and I are back from “family camp,” (following three of them doing two week
camps. . . ) I never got to go to camp as a kid, what can I say? I guess I’m making up for it now.
So, check back for more regular posts, including later today some announcements about this weekend.
Have a great one - Betsy

Yep - Hi friends. I’ve been “off” this week because I’ve been enjoying a wonderful family camp (in blazing hot Missouri) with my kids. (We just finished the “high ropes” course. That’s about as much as much excitement as I can handle for a day!) In any event, just a quick post of this week’s column - it’s all about dollars, and some sense (cents?)
You’ll have to paste in the link this week. . .

Meanwhile, be sure to tune in to tomorrow’s radio show. With kids heading back to school in just a few weeks - some sooner - I talked with Jeanne Allen, head of the Center for Education Reform in Washington, D.C. From how to approach a school to get what you want as a parent, to the state of education reform around the county and why it matters, to the reason we shouldn’t always believe those “great” school standardized test results, Jeanne covers it all.
I think you’ll also enjoy some of the topics int he “heart beat” section of the show - that’s wehre I get to talk about the news topics you aren’t hearing about anywhere else.
I hope you take time to listen live at noon, central time on WYLL/AM1160 Chicago or streaming live on www.wyll.com, or here on Monday or later in the week get a podcast from NationalReview.com.
As always, thanks for stopping by!

Hi friends - I hope you’ll tune into the radio show today when I talk to financial adviser David Briggs about Americans and our increasing personal debt load. He offers two quick and immediate ways to change the way we think about money that I KNOW will change my financial life. You won’t want to miss them. I’ve also got some items for the “Hart Beat” section of the show which no one else is talking about. That’s AM1160/WYLL Chicago, noon Sunday (central time) or streaming live at wyll.com. Monday you can get the audio here, and later in the week a podcast from NationalReview.com.
As always, thanks for stopping by, and keep those e-mails coming! Even when I can’t respond to them all, I read and appreciate each one.

. . .Then comes crushing debt? So it seems. You may have seen this piece on the cover of Sunday’s New York Times. I’ll be talking about this issue on the radio show this week (Sunday, AM1160, WYLL Chicago) with savvy financial adviser David Briggs. A former longtime executive with G.E., he now heads the Stewardship Ministry at Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington, Illinois. And he’ll be talking about the greatest financial fears and problems people bring to him - and how to think more successfully about money in a financially very unsettling time. I hope you’ll tune in!
Americans and Personal Debt - the New Normal?
As always, I have lots of good stuff to talk about in the “Hart Beat” section of the show, too!
Meanwhile, thanks to all the folks stopping by for the first time from “The Laura Ingraham” show. I love getting your feedback - thanks for all the e-mails.
