Medical System Flaw, No Mean Girls, Family Charter

Flu Flaw in our Medical System (18:55) Morten Wendelbo is a Research Fellow at the Scowcroft Institute of International Affairs and a faculty member of Texas A & M University.  His research focuses on disaster preparedness and response, domestic and international both, and in that capacity, he has advised several governments. The United States’s I-V saline comes mainly from Puerto Rico, but after the hurricane, our supplies are running short.  This is just one thing contributing to one of the worst flu seasons on record.  Morten Wendolbo explains the problem and suggests some solutions. No more Mean Girls (1:07:19) Katie Hurley, LCSW, is a child and adolescent psychotherapist, parenting expert, and writer. She is the founder of “Girls Can!” empowerment groups for girls between ages 5-11. Of every creature and thing that lives on this Earth, one of the most complicated is a woman. Girls have a strange way of competing with one another and that competition starts earlier and earlier with every passing year. While some view this as a way to get ahead in life, child psychotherapist and author of the book No More Mean Girls Katie Hurley urges us to help girls unify, rely and work with each other, Family Charter (1:52:47) Geoffrey Redick is a freelance writer, podcast/radio producer and voice-over artist. He is also is a stay at home dad. A new parent wishes for a “How to raise your child” book to come the same time as the new baby but even Amazon doesn’t carry a such a manual. Teenagers are even more fun because rebellion reaches its high point and time outs don’t work as discipline anymore. Geoffrey Redick produced a family charter that changed his family dynamic and talks about the lessons he has learned from this experiment.
