One of Our Listeners
On July 12, Rona and the Childhood Matters team met long-time loyal listener and caller Robbie and his family at the Doof-a-Palooza event at Google Headquarters in Mountain View. Robbie has been calling into Childhood Matters since 2006, getting his questions answered and offering his personal insights and wisdom.

Robbie says, "On behalf of my family and I, I would like to thank everyone for their relentless efforts to keep this program on the air. My girlfriend and I have found the program to be very informative and enlightening. The information and advice that we have acquired from the program has been comforting and useful. God bless you all!"

If you have something great to say about how our radio shows have helped you, head over to Great Nonprofits and tell everyone about it! Or e-mail us at info@childhoodmatters.org.


The Anti-Dr. Laura
Nurse Rona was interviewed for the September issue of The Monthly (East Bay). Paul Kilduff interviewed her on Childhood Matters and on how our radio shows got started:

"When a father got up in Nurse Rona Renner’s parenting class in the mid-1990s and said that he now knew why he had to stop beating his kids, Renner experienced a spine-tingling epiphany."

Involved Fathers


It is undeniable that dads play a critical role in their kids' lives. The connection between a dad and his child is one that affects a child's wellbeing and development. Despite the multitude of ways to be a father, many fathers feel that they have few examples of how to actually be involved. Join guest host Dr. Will Courtenay, of PostPartumMen.com and guests, Niinana Kweku, Manager of Male Services at Brighter Beginnings, and Eric Reynolds, a facilitator of father support groups for Bananas, as they discuss how fathers strive to be an important part of their children’s lives.
