of you, dr. narula, what is a good way, you and i have kids around similar ages. what's a good way to have mental wellness, and yet be medically safe as we open up travel? >> right. so, my husband and i are both vaccinated. our kids are not because they're under the age of 12, so i want to focus on that first which is that this is the bright spot of this summer. with parents being vaccinated, we know that our kids are way more protected than they were last summer because most of the transmission to kids have come from household contact. soci so the risk for our kids is much lower. it's a 's your level of risk tolerance or version. what are the particular health issues of your children? are they children at higher risk for complications of covid? and what are the goals of the family. when you look at what you can do this summer there are a lot of options, outdoor.

outdoor. outdoor activities, hiking, camping, outdoor sports for kids where they don't have close contact. outdoor play mates, outdoor dining. then you want to think travel, road trips, think wally world. road travel is going to be the safest. finally camp is a great option. camp was an option last summer. and it worked very well with the majority of camps. find out what protocols they're taking. lots of choices for kids. >> and, gretchen, i can't think of anybody better than you to talk about how we keep happiness alive after the fear that we've all carried with us for well over a year now. >> right. as we're navigating being in different circumstances with people who might have different practices, different systems, or they need to -- we need to think about just having good manners. and trying to make people feel as comfortable and as confident as they can with whatever the conditions are.

>> so, tara, how do we let kids have a kids will be kids summer but take care of their mental health. i really believe most of us don't know what we've been through until we're out of it. i don't any of us know how we're affected until that time. >> i think you're right, gayle. for so many of us who have had kids we've heard them, talk about being anxious, depressed. lonely, isolated, stressed. if ever there was a prescription pad for a doctor this summer for kids is play and fun. those need to be the two words for this year's summer. you know, kids, we should be talking to them and asking them how do they want their summer to be. what is important to them. listening to them and acknowledging how they feel. as you said, gayle, so many of us have been really focused on our own stresses and struggles as parents and we haven't actually taken the time to ask our kids what is going on in

your mind. are you nervous about re-engaging with kids in camp or even next year in school. i think, listen, activities, being outdoors, being creative and really allowing kids to socialize. these are the things we should focus on. >> what a great idea. ask the kids what do they want. it might be marital counseling, ask your husband what he's thinking. oh, okay. you're absolutely right about that. ask them, what do they want. >> gretchen, you said families should design their summer. what do you mean by that? >> absolutely design your summer. really think about what is the essence of summer for you. what is it that you really want your summer to hold and figure out how to build that in. we've all that experience of organizing that magical picnic, going to that theme park, and somehow, the time just gets away from us. we want to design our summer so we make sure we figure out what we want. this year, we may have to be more creatie and adaptable.

we may not be able to do the things that we would typically do. you know, the days are long, but the summer is short. and we really want to make sure that we fill the time with the things that are going to give us the essence of summer. and really give us that experience of the season, that we all really want. >> dr. narula, how do we word things to children? a few key phrases, when society, and the globe is giving us mixed messages on mask wearing, what's safe, what is not. what are key phrases to keep optimism alive but caution and respect at the same time. >> well, drew, you're exactly right. this year has been so full of challenges. and i think what we want to teach our kids is that it's okay to have challenge. you can rise from the challenge. and there are three words i love, i actually stole two of them from my daughter's school, glows and grows and gratitude, the three "g"s.

when we sit around, we ask the kids, what are your glows from today? where did you shine? we want them to have that positive feedback. and where can you grow? maybe you failed at something, that's okay. and finally, how can you find gratitude. there's always something in every day that you can be grateful for. the laughing is the silver lining. that's something that's huge in our household. we're always trying to teach our kids to find the bright spots. look at the world, see as you said, optimism, and hope and beauty. for us, our silver lining our two girls got closer in a year where they never would have had this time together. for my 8-year-old, i asked her what was your silver lining, she said, well i got to sleep longer than i would have if i actually went to school. >> glows and grows and gratitude. i like that. >> three "g"s. >> dr. tara and gretchen, thank you so much.

plays a guy whose best friend is an invisible white rabbit. you know, i felt really useless and hopeless at the time. and i felt like my mental illness was making me worthless. seeing that movie taught me that ellwood p. down may have an illness but his life mattered and loved by the people around him. that movie really did change my life. >> i love that, john. we're going to echo over what drew and anthony said, we're drooling over you. we love this book. ellwood said you can be crazy and still be a human being and valuable. i love what you said about your brother hank, he said, as a person, the problem with you is other people. i have a t-shirt that said i used to be a people person until people ruined it for me. i was going to send you one, john green. you're welcome. one of the favorites you wrote about sunsets. you said a good one leaves you

speechless. then you talk about the bliss of a dog laying on his or her back exposing their belly. when you see a dog doing that, you know they're so vulnerable and so open. we all feel like that. i thought it was beautifully done, which, by the way, you gave that five stars. >> i did, yeah. i think it's so important to be able to be vulnerable. it's so hard, though, too. >> yes. >> essentially online we have to wear the armor of cynicism and irony to protect ourselves. and when writing this book, i really did want to try to take that off. in the same way that my beloved dog was able to turn and show me the vulnerable parts of him and trust mehat scratch his belly. i wanted to try to take that vulnerability into this work. and to try to, yeah, tell the story that i could tell as honestly as i could tell it. >> you did that, john, mission

accomplished. let me tell you something, we all need a belly rub from time to time. getting a belly rub ain't a bad idea. we have a speed round, game? >> i'm ready. >> first thing that comes to mind, ufos and aliens. you're on the clock. >> 3 1/2 stars. i feel very unsettled about them. >> teddy bears. i love the teddy bears. >> i love teddy bears. i love seeing my kids with their teddy bears. i think our relationship with teddy bears is a little weird just because it used to be that we would be very scared with bears but now we cuddle with them. four stars. >> canada geese. >> no, canada geese are profoundly overrated birds, it's not really their fault. nonetheless, two stars. >> finally, what is the most underrated movie of all time for you? >> i have to think the most underrated movie of all time is the 2014 work of great genius known as "penguins of

madagascar." ". a movie that my kids forced me to watch and now i force my kids to watch. >> what's the rating? >> 4 1/2 stars. >> what's next on your list to do, john green? >> oh, i don't know, i'm going tokeep writings you says and keep trying to be honest and trying to be hopeful and keep trying to pursue wonder where i can find it. >> and the book club for two. i love that. and i learned a new word "anthropocene." i've never heard that word. podc. michael lewis discusses his new book. we'll be right back.
