You might call it a Road Trip. We did it in 8 days, but you only have to watch 3,000 miles in 3 minutes. We had so many adventures, but this will at least give you a taste! It’s all documented in my new ebook. Tips for Parents on How to Talk to Your Kids about The Boston Explosion Tips from Dr. Jennifer Weberman, Commentary by Bruce The Boston Explosion aka The Boston Bombings have had a large impact on all of us. Such a senseless act of terror often raises difficult questions for parents and children. How can such evil exist? Where does it come from? Are we safe? What’s next? The list of questions is endless and for many of them, there is no simple answer, anymore than there is a simple answer to questions of faith. However, as parents, we must be able to comfort our children in these times of unfathomable suffering and unthinkable acts of evil. @GuyKawasaki Goes APE at #DadChat Thursday
We are so happy and honored to have @Guy Kawasaki return to #DadChat. This time he’s going to talk about his new book, APE: How to Publish a Book – Author, Publisher, Entrepreneur. I will ask him several questions as a frustrated author of two books on how I/we can do it best. I will also ask GK questions about fatherhood and hockey. The former since he’s a father of four; the latter since he’s taken up ice hockey in his forties and I want to know WHY THE HECK he would do THAT!? Note: Here’s the transcript Two Common Questions on Death and Divorce that Need to GO! When I was young, my mother would often take offense when someone would ask her, upon seeing me with my mom, “is he your only one?” She was always polite but given that she’d lost two other children, it was one of those questions that hurt, though the person asking had no idea. Simple questions about death, divorce, and our family make-up may seem innocent, but are they really? Boston Explosion: Empathy & Grief
I am writing this on the morning after the Boston bombings, so much will be uncovered in the days between this writing and publication. But, this column is not about the who and why of the Boston bombings. It’s about the role Social Media plays in our lives today and how empathy and grief come to bear during these events. It’s also about why we must teach our children well to care about others and reach out in tough times to those in need. Note: Please listen to or download our special radio show, The Boston Bombings and Our Kids, in which Dr. Weberman offers excellent tips for parents about how to handle such an issue with our kids, and we hear from Pastor Drew Sams with a spiritual viewpoint, and Cheryly LeBon giving a political perspective. The Boston Bombing and Our KidsThursday, April 18, 2013 Featured guests: Cherylyn Harley LeBon – Co-Chairman of the Project 21 National Advisory Board Pastor Drew Sams for “Spiritual Talk.” Dr. Jennifer Weberman (The Parenting Playground) for “Therapy Talk.” This show is devoted to discussing the Boston Bombing and how we talk to our children about such cataclysmic events… Oak Park High School Presents Les MiserablesIt’s amazing what some kids with passion can do! Oak Park High School’s production of Les Miserables was truly wonderful. They did it four times with two different casts for the leads. Each cast was terrific and the entire ensemble was simply fantastic. Now, I’m not the least bit biased, of course, even though my son played “Marius” (this is “his” cast – on Opening Night). Enjoy these nine minutes of clips from this 2 1/2 hour production of Les Miserables. |
