Today: Po Bronson on NPR's 'Fresh Air'

Po speaks to Terry Gross about our book on today's episode of NPR's Fresh Air. There's a short prose piece about some of their conversation on NPR's Web site. You can also listen to it via the NPR Web site.

Some of the topics that Po and Terry spoke on include the effects of marital conflicts on kids, the role of progressive dads in caregiving, and the effect of sleep on kids—how the average kid is getting an hour of sleep less than when we were kids—and the huge effect this is having on their cognitive abilities.
