Parents Questions For Kids on How to Be Better Parents

These are questions sent in by real parents because they want to know how they can help their kids and be better parents.

Please share this survey with other kids because the more input we get to help parents the better! The answers will be shared on Fox News and on my website, EmmaHusk.com. Thank you, Emma.
