This week, D and Jac are joined by their favorite pediatrician, Dr. Krupa Playforth, to explore the sensitive topic of discussing world events with young children. Together, they acknowledge the difficulty of finding the right words and the instinct to shield children from tragedy, while also recognizing that young ears are always listening and processing. They touch on the challenges of contextualizing these events, determining the right age for these conversations, and the struggle of balancing censorship while keeping kids informed. They emphasize the importance of addressing children's questions with honesty, supporting them through discomfort, and modeling appropriate emotional responses.

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
