First hour: Discussing parent shaming
Second hour: Summer of Food-Chef Samantha Buyskes
The parents of a toddler that got into a gorilla enclosure at the Cincinnati Zoo have taken a remarkable level of criticism and abuse since the incident. And that has sparked a discussion about parent shaming: why are we so quick to judge the actions of other parents? Why do we assume certain things couldn't happen to us? Parent shaming extends to discussions over breast feeding, school choice, even how kids are born. Our panel will discuss how to help parents make the best choices while making sure the "Mommy Wars" don't escalate. Our guests:
- Sara Treadwell, mother and spiritual healer
- Emily Horowitz, mother of two, psychotherapist practitioner and supervisor, and founder of Parenting Village
- Sally Parrott Ashbrook, mother and board-certified lactation consultant at Nourish Breastfeeding Support
- Patrick Boswell, birth doula and member of the Doula Cooperative of Rochester
In our second hour, our Summer of Food series continues with a conversation with one of the Finger Lakes' leading chefs. Samantha Buyskes is from South Africa, and we'll detail her road to the Finger Lakes, while exploring her views on modern food movements. Buyskes recently opened the critically acclaimed restaurant Kindred Fare in Geneva, and she's been one of the prominent culinary voices in the region for years. She joins us from our WEOS studio.
