To mark the launch of Judith Warner's new book We've Got Issues: Children and Parents in the Age of Medication, please join us for a conversation with Judith and Lisa Belkin of the NY Times.
Are parents and physicians throwing labels at children to explain away bad behavior? Are they using medications as a substitute for proper parenting? Or do the very questions reveal something deeper - some unacknowledged set of issues happening within our society?
Based on her extensive research and interviews, Judith Warner's new book cuts through the received wisdom and hysteria to try to bring sensitivity and compassion to the debate over medicating children.
