This is a touching, beautiful 11-minute film that pushes back on ageism and uplifts long friendships among men. Full disclosure--made by my talented nephew Nate and features my handsome, fabulous brother-in-law, Bob. Nuthin' but net!
I made a short film about my 73-year-old dad’s pick-up basketball game because…ball is life.

Yes! Family dinners are still worth it!
During COVID lockdowns, more than 50% of families reported positive changes in family meals that they wanted to keep long-term. Two years after that research, are family meals still worth it, or are they too stressful to be meaningful? https://t.co/QIoZZ5TGtR

One of the things I know is that parents need grace. We all miss some practices or games, and that’s ok. It can be centering and protective for our kids and teens to have a regular family meal together. A tip I learned from the research of @Home4DinnerBook. Eat together often!
With the new school year starting, parents should be kind to both their kids and themselves. Dr. Howard Liu talked with @TODAYshow about how the whole family can prepare for a smooth transition:

Enlightening study @hgse “We’ve been hyper-focused on teens, and we sort of pluck them out of their families. We talk a lot about how social media is what’s driving teen depression and anxiety, but we can’t look at teens in isolation,” Weissbourd says. https://t.co/0icXohcij3

The feeding relationship is the first crucial task of parenting. When feeding is warm & consistent, it creates a building block for later feelings of attachment. Read more from Anne Fishel, PhD, (@Home4DinnerBook) Director of @FDP_Tweets. https://t.co/SP5UsT1rRi

Occasionally you get lucky and get a shot you really love. That happened today when I captured a magnificent Baltimore Oriole as it rose through an oak tree in Central Park. Some orioles will build nests and raise their young here! 🧡🖤🧡#birdcpp

Fascinating article about cultural preferences in taste, texture, and food words. Japanese language has 400 terms for food texture. Does more openness to foods lead to more words or v-v? For kids who fearful about new foods, asking them to use words to describe taste is helpful.
A sense of culinary adventure is shaped early at the family dinner table, through travel and by a sense of curiosity when cooking and dining. I love finding something new and interesting for my kids to try. Food is a language and window into culture!
