“At last, someone is telling parents it’s better to raise a kid for success in life than to be cool in the 7th grade.  If your family is teetering at the brink of today’s culture of cool (or even if you’ve been swallowed whole), pick up this book. Marybeth Hicks has emerged from the trenches to endorse common sense and courage in parenting.”

Welcome!

What's the most uncommon thing in our culture today? Common sense.

Whether writing about culture and family issues for my weekly Washington Times column, blogging about the day's news, or talking with parents about how to do a better job on behalf of our children, it's common sense that drives my opinions and commentary.

This time of year, I'll hit the road to share more common sense solutions with parents, educators, media professionals and child advocates. I'd love to visit your community, too, so contact me soon about scheduling a speaking date in your neck of the woods.

I hope you’ll visit my Internet home often and continue to share the site with your family, friends, neighbors and anyone who thinks we're all due for an infusion of something that just shouldn't be so uncommon -- some old fashioned common sense.

Best to you,
Marybeth
