David Code on TV

Recceived the following from David Code:

I wrote a book on marriage and parenting. Last week, CBS Newsreported on my assertion that behind every helicopter parent is adistant, cold marriage: http://tinyurl.com/CBSdcTV My story has been picked up by NPR, The Wall St. Journal, "Parents"Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Christian Science Monitor, andLadies Home Journal. I believe a problem in your child could be a wake-up call for yourmarriage. These days, we seem to be marrying our kids instead of ourspouses because the truth is, we find it easier to be with our kidsthan our partners. Research suggests our anxious focus on our kidscontributes to children with social problems and special needs. The solution? To raise happy kids, put your marriage first.Knowledge is power, and when we become aware of how we distance fromour spouses, it's win-win for the family. We can improve ourmarriages, pass less baggage onto our kids, and set a great examplefor their future relationships! For those interested in the debate, below are links to the media coverage.All best,David Code SY'87
