A newly-opened cafe and waffle bar in the Chippewa Valley area is cooking up delicious breakfast and donating 100 percent of their profit to support local families experiencing housing insecurity. We find out the full story from the cafe’s owner. We also hear from the author of a new book who says we never really know if our parenting methods are the “right” ones, and we discuss a report that says the use of pepper spray and solitary confinement are continuing at Wisconsin’s youth prisons.

Why Parenting Mistakes Will Always Happen But Maybe Not Matter (That Much)
Prior to the 1970’s, “parenting” was an unfamiliar term. Most moms and dads thought of it as child rearing. And from the earliest days of parenting forward, humans embraced something called alloparenting, essentially getting someone else to take of your kids for you. We talk to the author of a new book all about the history of parental behavior, from the things we accept as good parental behavior and the others we accept as bad for no apparent reasons.
