Pass It On

We had a listener who emailed us saying her sewing machine that she uses to make her Christmas presents and clothes for her kids was broken. So we asked our listeners if they had an extra sewing machine or an old one they weren't using. And our listeners came through. We were able to Pass It On.

8 Ways to Obama-Thrive Your Family

Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States. Our communication expert says his family is a good role model for us and has lessons we could all learn. Here are 8 tips to Obama-trive your family.

1. Verbalize to your partner how much you care about them in front of someone else.

2. Non-verbally show that you care, an arm around their waist, picking up the children.

3. Construct stories together and retell them again and again.

4. Be realistic of your expectations.

5. Reach out to others for fun, help and validation. (It takes a village.)

6. Be honest with your family.

7. Keep the hierarchy. Equal partner parenting

8. Buy the puppy! Reward your family when goals are reached.
