This Week's Episode:
We are reminding ourselves how to interact with our kids when they are being surly--no matter what age.
- Be emotionally engaged, but appropriately distanced.
- Don't expect our kids to be adults.
- Use humor (wisely).
- Listen with true curiosity.
- Communicate clearly.
- Catch your kids doing "good" things, and provide descriptive, specific praise.
The Stat of the Week is inspired by our sadness about Bill & Melinda Gates' divorce announcement and is all about divorce statistics.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
