The phrase has remained so culturally relevant that it’s even featured on a popular graphic t-shirt that is often worn by adults who grew up loving the film. It’s apparently also worn by kids who have no idea that their shirt has anything to do with a movie, as Patrick Renna and Tom Guiry, two stars from the film, discovered when they ran into a young fan wearing the ‘You’re Killing Me, Smalls’ shirt....
Obviously, we love our Baby Boomer parents, but we’re aware that Boomers gave future generations of parents all kinds of terrible advice. When Chris Redd (in old man makeup) raps that Boomers “crashed the economy three whole times,” the unrelenting hilarity of this rap is actually just getting started. Is it the fault of the Baby Boomers that the world is the way it is right now? No, of course not....
Who is in the Space Jam 2 cast? And what’s up with those cameos? In a nice bit of life imitating art, LeBron James is going to try to fill Michael Jordan’s shoes on the silver screen, as the reigning champ is the star of A New Legacy. Don Cheadle will be playing an algorithm named AI-G Rhythm that also appears to be the film’s villain. Sonequa Martin-Green will play James’ wife, while Cedric Joe, Ceyair J....
So many great movies. So many great performances. So many different kinds of films. But if Connery’s passing inspires us to track down one old movie to watch as a tribute, it’d be The Great Train Robbery. Released in 1979 in the U.S., the heist-thriller was written and directed by Michael Crichton based on his 1975 novel of the same name, which recounted actual events (with some dramatic license taken)....
Cue stopping record sound. Yeah, almost nothing about the set-up of WandaVision invites clarity, nor is Marvel playing it safe with their demographic. If you’re the kind of person who likes Marvel stuff because there’s a bunch of snappy dialogue in-between shit blowing up, WandaVision will not give you what you want. If you’re someone who likes weird TV shows that intentionally obscure their backstories to draw you into a season-long mystery – ala’ Twin Peaks or Westworld — then, WandaVision is going to be your new slow-burn TV jam....
In the first episode — just aired on Sunday — Cohen poses as an “Israeli journalist,” and interviews several conservative activists including Philip Van Cleave of the Virginia Citizens Defense League and Larry Pratt, a lobbyist and the Executive Director of Gun Owners of America. Cohen also talked to several prominent politicians like Dana Rohrabacher and pundits like Joe Walsh. He begins the segment by talking to Van Cleave. Cohen makes a vague jab at sugar as the culprit for shootings....
Empathizing with the emotions struggling dads may feel can help them level out. “Men tend to bond over activities, like doing a hobby or playing a sport,” says Amy Morin, a licensed psychotherapist and editor-in-chief of The Verywell Mind Podcast. “They may feel left out when they no longer get invited to do those things or they may feel bad when they have to decline those invitations because they’re struggling with the kids....
RELATED: Uncrowded Beaches That Are Perfect For Kids (And The Guy Who Drove Them There) The best beach games, coolers, and buckets are a great start, but you also need kids toys and gear to stake down your section of sand, keep the kids shaded and cool, and the tunes cranking. The gear here ⏤ from portable sunshades and sand-free blankets, to heavy-duty wagons and an ice chest with its own A/C ⏤ does just that....
The Powerpuff Girls As the theme song so succinctly explains, Professor Utonium was trying to create the perfect little girl using a mixture of “sugar, spice, and everything nice” but after accidentally adding Chemical X, he ended up with three super-powered kindergarteners. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup balance trying to save Townsville from the forces of evil with everyday trials and tribulations of five-year-olds, including losing teeth, security blankets, and, of course, bickering with your siblings....
5 Ways the Government Helped Families in 2018 Children’s Health Insurance Program Survives After a lengthy re-negotiation process in which literally millions of kids access to health care hung in the balance, Congress successfully re-funded the Children’s Health Insurance Program for the next six years, meaning that some nine million American kids will have health care at a reasonable price for the foreseeable future. Medicaid Expansions Go Through As mandated by the Affordable Care Act, a good handful of states expanded Medicaid to include people at 138 percent of the federal poverty level or below who are also under the age of 65....
1. Count Backwards From 10 “A quick way to calm down is to practice mindful breathing while counting backward from ten. When we’re angry, we get hijacked by our fight or flight response in our amygdala, which turns off the problem-solving parts of our brains. Focusing on our breath helps calm the amygdala while counting helps activate the frontal lobe of the brain, which helps us with problem-solving.” — Elizabeth Eiten, LMSW, CCTP, psychotherapist...
Spice World encapsulates the late ‘90s in a way that is both great and stranger than you remember. The movie follows Baby Spice (Emma), Scary Spice (Mel B), Sporty Spice (Mel C), Posh Spice (Victoria), and Ginger Spice (Geri) as they prepare for a huge concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall. The skirts are short, the platforms are high and the mischiefs are afoot in this mockumentary that unlike a lot of nostalgic films from that era actually holds up (paging Space Jam and Black Check)....
I was 15 years old when my mother passed away after a long, hard battle with cancer. At her funeral, I had a wave of emotions, but I felt I had to hold it in for fear that my friends would think I was weak. I wanted to portray that I was tough and strong, yet inside I felt isolated and alone. I still regret not crying at my mother’s funeral....
So, what can parents do? Raising self-aware kids requires a gentle hand and a deft touch. Too much prodding and parents are virtue-signaling; too little and kids don’t have a proper sense of their skills or who they are. It’s not easy, says Kyle Pruett, M.D., a clinical professor of child psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine, Educational Board Advisory Member for The Goddard School, and award-winning author. But it’s imperative for parents to actively nurture their child’s self-awareness without boxing them in....
Because kids’ hairstyles help them express the person they’re shaping into, you’ll want to go into a kid’s haircut prepared to listen, negotiate and guide — whether you’re heading to a barbershop or doing the cutting yourself. Whether you’re looking for a toddler haircut to keep your kid’s hair out of their face, considering a kids fade haircut, or appeasing your kid who wants a mohawk with a fohawk, there are a lot of decisions to make....
Over time I thought about what I wished my father did and didn’t do as a parent. So, I came up with a list of 5 things that I wish my father did to make my life as a young boy feel more comfortable, confident, and safe. I also think any father can use these to better their relationship with their child. This story was submitted by a Fatherly reader....
With the death toll now over a quarter million Americans and health officials issuing stark warnings about the coronavirus’s spread, studies show more people are thinking about end-of-life decisions and seeking advice on advance care planning in case they get critically ill. Everyone directly affected by these choices should be part of the conversation – including young adults. Advance care planning allows people to make health care choices before they become ill, such as whether they would want to be on life support and who should make health care decisions for them if they can’t....
“By acting angrily, you actually increase the likelihood of continuing to act angrily, just as acting loving and compassionate tends to increase the individual’s tendency towards love and compassion,” psychotherapist Ross Grossman told Fatherly. At the same time, anger serves an important role. “Every moment of anger provides a temporary reprieve from the raw sting of inner pain,” psychologist Bernard Golden told Fatherly. “In this way, it’s a coping mechanism....

Why then, if car seats are so critical and seemingly easy to use, do so many parents consistently get something wrong with either their installation or use? One study has the error rate at around 75%, with the majority of parents making at least some mistake, albeit one as minor as not tightening the harness enough. Part of the reason for such a high error rate involves education and misinformation....
