I haven’t used much trigonometry lately, and I also haven’t had to have any important in-depth conversations on symbolism in\u00a0<\/span>“Tess of the d’Urbervilles”<\/i><\/b>.\u00a0 So I guess I was right to ask my teachers, “When are we going to need this in real life?”<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a new survey, 83% of parents think schools should spend some time teaching important life skills to go along with all the standard academic stuff.\u00a0 And here are the 10 life skills we wish we’d learned in school . . .<\/span><\/p>\n

    HAPPY MEAL:<\/b><\/p>\n

    It seems that when it comes to eating, it\u2019s not just what you eat, but who you eat it with and where, when it comes to staying trim.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Food experts studying how the pandemic has shaped family mealtimes have found in interviews with teenagers that they report vast improvement in their health, as a result of eating at the table with their families, and without their phones or tablets. In a study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, researchers note that slower eating and conversation can help adolescents to recognize when they\u2019re full.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    When families devoted less time to each other, did not sit at the table, were distracted by phones or did not engage in conversation, they also ate more unhealthily, and were more likely to be obese. Parents also found they were able to forge closer bonds with their teenage children if they ate together, and those who established healthy eating patterns for their children were more successful.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The study backed up other results which demonstrate eating together as a family is related to a healthier diet, with more fruit and vegetables, and fewer sugary drinks.<\/span><\/p>\n

            MIRANDA LAMBERT LAUNCHES ‘LOVE HARDER’ CAMPAIGN TO HELP DOGS GET ADOPTED\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

            Miranda Lambert\u00a0<\/b>is helping those dogs that need the most help, specifically pit mixes, senior dogs, black dogs, and dogs with disabilities with the “Love Harder” campaign. Her nonprofit, MuttNation Foundation, will be dedicating 2021 to highlighting and busting the myths about these special pets that are often overlooked or last-in-line for adoption.<\/span><\/p>\n

            Visit muttnation.com\/loveharder and upload a photo along with a brief message about why you adopted your \u201ceasy to love, harder to get adopted dog\u201d and what makes her or him so special – and you\u2019ll have a chance to win a one-of-a-kind Epiphone guitar signed by Miranda.<\/span><\/p>\n

            The \u201cLove Harder\u201d campaign kicked off (Thursday, April 8th) on MuttNation and Miranda\u2019s social platforms with a video of Miranda visiting with\u00a0<\/span>Emmylou Harris\u00a0<\/b>and her senior dog with special needs, Jeter. More \u2018video visits\u2019 will follow each month, and a radio and television PSA campaign will launch later in the year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"April 16th ","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":21262,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mornings"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-05-07 23:20:25","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country929.com\/blogs\/mornings\/2021\/04\/on-todays-show-587\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21787"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21787\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21788,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21787\/revisions\/21788"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21262"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cfcofm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
