Blending A Family With "More Love, Less Panic"

Tarcher/Penguin

Claude Knobler and his wife already had two kids of their own when they decided to adopt a little boy from Ethiopia. 

In the process of trying to mold him as a human being, Claude realized the impossibility of trying to make a person turn out a certain way... even with his biological kids. 

He tells the story of realizing this in his memoir More Love, Less Panic

Claude Knobler joins us to talk about the process of changing his parenting process.
