Lobeline Communications PR client Richard Melnick featured on Parents Magazine online!
At age 40, author Richard Melnick was diagnosed with cancer. (Great news: He lived.) It made him rethink his connection to his two young boys. He completely rejected helicopter parenting and tiger mom-ing and came up with his own take-charge style. His kids, he believed, should be helping around the house—and when they did, the whole family benefitted. His methods worked so well that he wrote a fresh and scrappy advice book called Parents Who Don’t Do Dishes (and Other Recipes for Life).
Heck yes, I’m down with this. My kids already walk the dog and pack their lunch (sometimes and via bribery). But dishes? I asked Richard to please, please, please tell me how I can get my children to wash up after our nightly post-dinner disaster. We need to start tonight. Here’s what Richard had to say:
“Why not dishes? For starters, splashing around in the water is fun. It’s an entry-level position, and your toddler can begin on a stepstool. A 2-year-old can play at the sink, a 5-year-old can do it with your supervision, and a 7-year-old can do it on their own. In some countries, kids herd sheep at the age of 5 and play an important role in the family’s economic health. “Hey! How ’bout herding that pile of laundry?”

Lobeline Communications Public Relations client Charles D’Angelo discusses “Keeping It Healthy for the Holidays” on Huffington Post!
Thanksgiving and the holidays are a time of plenty… too much plenty. We are encouraged to indulge, and even those who rarely indulge do so during this time. We start the afternoon with hors d’oeuvres, often pastries and deep-fried foods, with bowls of nuts and chips laid out on any surface possible! We move on to the main course — appetizers, creamy mashed potatoes, candied sweet potatoes, turkey with gravy and stuffing, and then on to dessert: pumpkin pie with whipped cream, apple pie, ice cream and maybe a few other baked goods on top. And then there’s the alcohol: beer in the afternoon, wine with dinner and liqueurs with dessert. What’s more, this may be repeated once or twice over the weekend, depending on your family! Charles discussed this during his recent KSDK interview: Here
