Mental sobriety, also known as emotional sobriety, is the ability to maintain a balanced and healthy emotional state, even amidst challenging life circumstances, without resorting to addictive behaviors or substances. It's about managing emotions in a healthy way, developing coping mechanisms, and fostering mental well-being.Is aggression instilled in kids?Excellent question — and the answer is both yes and no. Let's break it down clearly: 1. Aggression Can Be Instinctive (Biological)* Children are born with basic emotional responses like frustration, fear, or anger.* These can naturally lead to aggressive behavior (e.g., hitting, yelling) when they don’t yet know how to express emotions in healthy ways.* Some research even shows that temperament and impulse control can be partly genetic — so some kids may be more prone to aggressive reactions than others.BUT that doesn’t mean aggression is inevitable or permanent. 2. Aggression Is Often Learned (Environmental)* Kids watch. Kids absorb. Kids imitate.If they grow up around violence, yelling, or harsh discipline, they may learn that aggression is normal or necessary for getting what they want.* Media, peer behavior, and family dynamics all play a major role.For example: * A child who watches violent cartoons or games without guidance may normalize aggressive reactions. * A child who sees conflict solved by yelling or threats may copy that. 3. Kids Use Aggression When They Lack Tools* Most young children show some form of aggression, especially during toddler years.* They may hit or bite not because they’re “bad” — but because they don’t yet know: * How to name their feelings (“I’m overwhelmed”) * How to ask for help * How to regulate stress or disappointmentWith guidance, they can learn better tools — empathy, self-control, communication.

Year Eight is closing out. I didn't use video; instead, I had a graphic and some letters.I really enjoyed it. Yes, I love doing videos, but there was something about me, my microphone, and Audacity that connected me to what I was saying. I may do more of these as one-offs.I didn't have a set subject tonight. I think my question to you all is, "What do you think about breakfast for Veterans?"

We Are VETS to DRONESWe help veterans enter the commercial drone industry by providing free, industry-standard training and resources. Our graduates earn their FAA Part 107 Certification and are trained to meet National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) performance standards.​Vets to Drones was created to open doors for veterans by introducing them to the growing opportunities in the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) field. Becoming a certified drone pilot empowers veterans to pursue meaningful and exciting careers in the commercial sector.​Our partners span the veteran and UAS communities from drone industry experts and disaster response teams, to humanitarian NGOs and veteran-founded businesses. Together, we’re building a future where more veterans can take flight, find purpose, and forge a new path forward.
