There aren't many areas of our lives that we can be 100% our true authentic selves except at home.  Our kids get to see the good and bad of who we really are.  Raising children in suburban environments forces us to encounter situations that we may not have to face, if you are not from  the suburbs.  The current state of our country has me evaluating my sons friends while at the same time encouraging him to be his true authentic self.  The lesson is to not let our roles as parents inhibit us from allowing our children to be their true authentic selves.   Enjoy!

In this episode we are dissecting the controversial topic of cursing at and around kids.  Acknowledging that there are levels to swearing, there is definitely repercussion to using profanity around and at children that could be viewed as verbal abuse.  I reference an article on Fatherly.com where Dr. Benjamin Bergen explains what happens to the body on a cellular level when people swear and the effects it can have of kids.  We examines the levels of swearing based on two clips from K.Lala104's instagram account where she is being pranked by her son and nephew.  And let's not forget about listening to explicit music in the car with the kids.  Enjoy!
