Dr. Sylvia Rimm
Family psychologist
Dr. Sylvia Rimm speaks and publishes nationally on family and school approaches to guiding children toward achievement and has gained a national following by her practical and commonsense advice. She directs Family Achievement Clinic at The Cleveland Clinic Foundation's Family Health Center in Cleveland, Ohio, and is a clinical professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. Families come from all over the United States for help.
For the last seven years she has been appearing monthly on NBC’s The Today Show in a segment titled “Raising Kids For Today.” She hosts the popular national call-in program on public radio, called Family Talk With Sylvia Rimm, where she answers listeners' questions on parenting. Her newspaper column is syndicated nationally through Creators Syndicate. In April of 1998, she debuted as a columnist on Disney’s Family.com. She has been profiled in the New York Times and People Magazine and appeared on many other national and local television programs, including 20/20 and Oprah.
