It’s 2013! Can you believe it? You may already have set a New Year’s goal such as exercising three times a week, but what about specific goals for your child in 2013? Raun and Kristin give you some helpful hints about setting useful goals for this year – and then taking that first crucial step toward them. They also argue about whether there is a male and female sense of humor, and they celebrate our kids. Kristin hands you four health- producing tips for the New Year, and Raun rants about rubberneckers (you better check yourself before you neck yourself!).

People talk about the importance of celebrating every step that your child takes, but they don’t often explain all of the how’s and why’s. Raun and Kristin take some time to really flesh this out, discussing all of the far- reaching implications of gratitude and celebration – including a critically overlooked issue: helping your child to be a “good tryer.” Your two hosts also argue about whether there is a correlation between a nation’s productivity and its coffee consumption, and they spend some time celebrating Kristin’s son.

In the lead-up to Valentine’s Day, there is, of course, a huge emphasis on boyfriends, girlfriends, and the perfect Valentine’s date. Raun and Kristin head in a completely different direction and discuss, in detail, how to have the perfect date…with yourself. You’ll be surprise at some of the ideas suggested. Your hosts argue about whether men or women are more critical of women, and actually come to some kinds of agreement.
