Seeing Clearly...
01/29/2018

Dr. Laura,

I love your message in your last video: Defending Against a Bully.

As I teach my 10 year old daughter (who is now a purple belt in Tae Kwon Do and she struggles with her hatred of injustice and indecency she sees schools expect kids to stomach) "you have two sets of separate rules to follow: rules of your home and rules of the school. Generally, both are very much in agreement, but not everything - particularly how to handle a bully. When the rules of your home and the rules of the school collide, rules of the home prevail, and I'll deal with those consequences. You may even experience an event where the school calls what you did wrong and but at home you're rewarded. It is only confusing to you now because you're a child, but as you grow up, you'll see more clearly."

Well, she actually sees clearly already.

Thanks for doing what you do!

Jeff
