One of the best things about the Summer is it gives us more quality time with our family. One of the worst things about the Summer is finding activities the entire family can do together. Paige and Gretchen talk about some of their favorite Summer family activities like going to the pool and catching an afternoon movie. The new Warner Brothers film, “Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore,” is just one example of a great Summer family movie. The film comes out July 30th. See it with your family and then tell us what you think at our Facebook page.

Bedwetting is a delicate issue that unfortunately most families have to deal with at some point. As part of our series “My Baby Me and My World,” sponsored by Pampers, Paige and Gretchen have invited Dr. Loraine Stern, pediatrician and a member of the Pampers Parenting Network, to discuss how best to deal with a bedwetting child. If you have personal stories of your own related to bedwetting please share, we would love to hear from you.

Almost half of the men serving in the Military are fathers, and many of them have questions about how they can be involved in their children's lives even when they are deployed to other countries. Armin Brott, author of The Military Father, shared with Gretchen and Paige some of the challenges unique to military fathers and their families. Armin has authored seven best selling books and appeared on numerous television shows to share his insights as "America's Most Trusted Dad." This is a great show, and book, to share with your friends and family members who are serving in the military.
