Welcome everyone to Family Talk. It's a ministry of the James Dobson Family Institute, supported by listeners just like you.

I'm Dr. James Dobson, and I'm thrilled that you've joined us.

Well, welcome to Family Talk.

I'm Roger Marsh.

As parents, we want our children to be healthy, of course.

But what does healthy really mean?

Is it just about keeping them physically fit?

Or is there something more involved?

On today's edition of Dr. James Dobson's family talk,

Dr. Dobson sits down with his longtime friend, Dr. Walt Laramore,

a family physician with 40 years of experience, who's also the author of the book, The Highly Healthy

Child. Together, they will explore a whole child approach to health that covers body, mind,

relationships, and spirit. That's coming up right now on today's edition of Dr. James

Dobson's Family Talk. To help us explore that topic, we've invited our physician in

residence, my very good friend, Dr. Walt Laramore, to be with us.

He is in a fine position to advise us on medical issues and other things.

He was in private practice for 20 years.

He's received his medical degree from the Louisiana State University.

As a graduate of USC, I sort of resent that, but that's the way it is.

And he went on to complete a residency in family medicine at Duke University Medical Center.

He's got all the medical credentials in the world and has used his talent for his

patients and for the Lord for these many years.
