THE BAX Platform is a hybrid conversation series combining the best of your front stoop and kitchen table with the unique perspective of the newsmakers – making sure all things are considered. This installment, PARENTING 2008, explores parenthood and decision-making. What is "effective" parenting? Can two people differ in style and be effective as a couple? What does it mean to be an involved parent? How to deal with parenting in two households? What challenges are unique to gay parents? This and more make up an interactive, intimate conversation. Discussion moderated by BAX Executive Director Marya Warshaw. Parenting 2008 is co-sponsored by Park Slope Parents.

Featured panelists include Sharon C. Peters, director of Parents Helping Parents, Rachel Malinowitzer, M.Ed., a licensed psychotherapist working in the field for 20 years, Nancy Mc Dermott a writer and a parent living in Park Slope, Brooklyn; Carolyn Farhie, a lesbian mom, psychotherapist, and leader of the Center Kids’ Planning Biological Parenthood for Women; and Dan Janzen, a freelance copywriter raising a son and daughter with his wife in Park Slope.
