SMILE FOR DADDY

Next up during Father's month we are going to explore the alter ego of most men, that of being MR. FIX IT. How do men go about fixing problems vs. women? How do you fix your child's fears? We'll be chatting with my dentist. How many children do you know fear the dentist? How can we "fix this". As a parent you'd give anything for them to smile genuinely. Our guest will be heading off to Indonesia to do some volunteer work for cleft palettes. In this regard, he's the dad answer to the MOTHER THERESA show.
