Dr. Mother Love & Mr. Kennedy discuss current events

A federal judge in Florida issued an order on Monday voiding the national mask mandate covering airports, planes, and other public travel.  U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle concluded that the masking regulation enacted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last February “exceeds the CDC’s statutory authority,” and that its mandate was “arbitrary and capricious.” 

Bullying is the use of force, threat, or coercion to abuse, intimidate or aggressively dominate others. What's going on in your home? Now that we have that foundation set, let’s see what’s going on with you and your kids. Here are five questions to ask yourself and then you can decide if there’s room for improvement:

1. Do you call your children or your spouse names such as stupid, crybaby, ignorant, useless, a failure, good for nothing?
2. Laugh at your children or your spouse when any one of them gets hurt or fails at something?
3.  Spend most of your at-home time either ignoring your family members or yelling at everyone because you are tired, stressed, etc? Beat your kids rather than spank them? (Do you know the difference? If you answer “No” to this part of the question, it’s not a good thing.)
4. Do you withhold affection as a form of punishment? (i.e., “I’d love you more if you weren’t so annoying.”) So many of these kids end up doing all kinds of rotten things to get any attention (good or bad) from their parents. In some cases, this leads them to do stupid things like skipping school, picking on other kids (aka, bullying), fighting, stealing, etc. Also, keep in mind that most juvenile suicides and just as bad, school shooters have been bullied on a regular basis.
