Michael Jackson: Who’s Your Daddy?
It’s clear that Debbie Rowe is the biological mother of Michael Jackson’s two older children but there’s ongoing speculation about who’s the father. Michael Lester, their godfather, told Matt Lauer on the Today Show that he donated sperm in 1996. Are the children hearing about this in the media and how may it affect them?

Most of all, he taught his family that anything is possible and to never give up. Who has … Continue reading
Competition and Cooperation
Yesterday, in honor of Father’s Day, we started a blog series about how to better understand the men in our lives. We looked at how their conversations often revolve around how to fix things, solve a problem, accomplish a goal – that is, when they’re not about the score of the latest, or a classic old, game. Visiting this week with our three young grandsons, it is easy to see how this focus develops early. As we watch them play together, and play with them, it is striking how many … Continue reading
