Today we go inside parenting with three local people who work with kids daily. Now they too did not get the book on your kids, and how to raise them. But they do bring insight into how children, and the impact of our adult behaviors. Licensed professional counselor Chris Paugh is with us. As is Amy Profant, Tennessee Pathways Regional Coordinator, and Christy Bennett licensed clinical social worker.
