"In an age when parents seem frightfully concerned their children might not be popular enough, Marybeth Hicks points out both the joys and the ultimate benefits of being uncool. A wonderful parenting guide."

Season's Greetings!

 

Invariably when I speak at writer’s workshops or author events, someone asks, “Do you ever get writer’s block?” With four busy children – three teens and a tween – I have plenty of material for my weekly Washington Times column. And our crazy culture offers countless topics for blogging. So while I’m almost never at a loss for words when sitting down to write, I’m finding it hard to find a way to say “thank you” for such a wonderful 2008.

The release of my new book Bringing Up Geeks made this a memorable and exciting year.  Most of all, I’m grateful for the chance to travel all across the country talking with parents about how we can rededicate ourselves to our most important job: raising our children as the Genuine, Enthusiastic, Empowered Kids they were meant to be.

I hope you’ll visit my Internet home often in 2009 and continue to share the site with your family, friends and neighbors. Thanks for stopping by, and especially for all your support and friendship through the year.

Best to you,
Marybeth
