Meg Meeker MD's mission to preserve childhood

Dr. Meg Meeker is one accomplished, busy and articulate lady!

As the author of six books (the 7th is on its way), a blogger, a mother and a pediatrician in practice with her husband, she has taken a strong stand for our children. Ardently opposed to our society's early sexualization of little girls in particular and a fierce proponent of excellence in parenting (for both mothers and fathers), she began the non-practicing part of her professional life speaking out in public forums. This passion quickly morphed into a writing career, along with national recognition as an authority on children's health and wellbeing, teens and parenting.

In this delightful podcast (about 21 minutes) with Dr. Meeker, listen to her commonsensical approach to wearing many hats, along with her go-for-it encouragement for those physicians amongst you with ideas and strong opinions that need expression.

And calling all moms who want to chat about mommy and kid and family stuff -- listen to the end of the podcast. It might be your chance to be featured in her forthcoming book, The Emotional Habits of Healthy Mothers.

I'd love to hear what you think about this inspiring interview ...
