you broke the news to your family that you were going back to a series sitcom. >> i said to tracy, what do you think about me going back to work? and she thought i could do it but they were like you have to do something. because you're just hanging around the house. >> there's a line in the show that moved me where your character says what if i'm not the guy they remember when i go back to work. was he speaking at all for michael j. fox. >> yeah at a point in my life. the disclaimer is i have gone through a lot of stuff -- i didn't wake up and be in this place of poz activity and hearts and flowers and unicorns. i went through a lot of stuff. >> reporter: when he was 30 years old, fox was diagnosed with parkinsons. he was told his career had 10 years left. >> set the table. >> reporter: that was 22 years ago. >> do you think you've lost anything as an actor or comedian because of parkinson's disease? >> it's changed me. it changed the way i worked. i can't rely on a quick eyebrow

lift or express myself in a certain way facially. i just feel stuff more. what comes out i have less control over but it tends to be more honest. >> do you get tired of people saying michael, how are you feeling? there's a look people have. i've seen it with my dad too. they feel sorry for you. >> i have come to realize that those people and i have nothing against them, it's all coming from a good place but that's their own fear. oh, i really hope i don't get what you have. >> right. >> i'm in much better shape than you. >> egg me. >> everybody has their own -- >> can you not have a personal victory right now? we are starving. >> we were like what is this show about? it's about control. we don't control. >> oh, that's good. >> reporter: fox may not always be in control but he's hell bent on not letting parkinson's control him. >> i have difficulty running and i can't turn sideways when i'm

moving and talk. it's just a thing i can't do. we shot a scene in the park with the football and i ran 20 yards out and caught it over my shoulder and kept running because i said to myself i'm not going to tell myself i can't do this. i'm just going to do it and if i ball hits me on the side of the head and i fall down then that happened. >> you're not self-conscious at all. i don't get the impression that you are at all. >> no, vanity is really overrated. when i was 20, teenage girls had my picture on the wall, i don't need to be more than who i am. i just am who i am. >> natalie was one of them. i did. i had a back to the future poster in my room. >> i did too. >> in addition to the show that comes out, fox is active working with the michael j. fox foundation for parkinson's research. i'm on the board of that foundation. my father came out publicly with the disease last year and i joined the board. the michael j. fox show premieres tomorrow night at

kids themselves or something that's distressing in a personal adult private context it's not appropriate. those are adult issues. >> if we do have a disagreement we don't raise our voice. we spell things out. >> i think kids will naturally go through problem solving as they grow up. fighting within the family unit, i don't think that adds to their life skills. >> no, i don't think it's appropriate but it's going to happen so i think as long as you're not name calling and being vicious about it. >> so here to weigh in is family psychologist jennifer and david is a father of five-year-old twin boys and the author of the daddy complex and sarah miller is a mom to a three-year-old and the managing editor of huffington post. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> what is arguing as opposed to fighting? >> and that's a really important question. arguing might be a bicker, a short disagreement but fighting is when there's much more emotional involvement. things are escalating.

might be bordering on disrespect interactions because our emotions are running the show. those things you don want to do because the arguing is happening. >> it is inevitable. completely honest, how often do you raise your voice in front of your kids and fight with your spouse. >> depends on who has the remote but fights happen. it's unrealistic to think that they don't or you can hide them from kids. my wife and i try to -- we don't hide it but we also try to keep our heads in the game and know what's going on and make sure that we're not saying things that -- my rule is don't say anything you wouldn't put on facebook. >> okay. >> that's good. >> i think i agree. my daughter is only 3 years old so we're coming out of that phase where it felt like you could say pretty much anything in front of her and she is kind of -- whether it was something that was maybe inappropriate for her to hear for other reasons or because we didn't want her to pick up on certain habits like

biggering or arguing and now she is like a sponge. anything we do whether it's a attitude or type of conversation she is registering that. >> jennifer, but it's not just about the tone. it's also about the hostility in the air. even if you're giving your partner the silent treatment. kids are sensitive and they pick up on that stuff too. >> absolutely. they are sponging. there's research that shows that infants can pick up on just that angry tone and it changes the activity in their brain. so kids are picking up on whatever emotional vibe is going on around them. if you're giving your spouse silent treatment your child knows. if you're talking with your teeth clenched they know. being able to put it out there and resolve it in front of them so they knee how to resolve the conflict, super important to see that it's possible to love someone, be mad at them, and move on. >> i would think it gets harder as your kids get older. i remember as a teenager my parents having a knockdown drag out and thinking they're going to break up. >> kids will do that. that's why the resolution part of it is so important.

they need to see you can fight and get past it and make up and still love each other and be okay. >> what's most important is kids want to feel like they're in a safe and secure environment. if they feel like the situation is scary in anyway. >> all right. jennifer, david, and sarah, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. >> coming up next, she is back with two busy moms who turned great ideas into their dream with two busy moms who turned so ally bank really has noam hidden fees on savings accounts? no hidden fees. it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things." ok, why's that? well uhhh... hey daddy, what's your job? daddy's a uhh florist. are you really a florist? dad, why are there shovels in the trunk? there's no shovels in my trunk. i see shovels... you don't see no shovels. just am. well, it's true. at ally there are no hidden fees. not one. that's nice. no hidden fees, no worries. ally bank. your money needs an ally.
