Friday Review - Teaching Prejudice While Watching the Bad Guys Movie Artwork

Imperfect Dad MD Podcast with Dr Jeremy Toffle

The role of dad has changed for the 21st century physician father. With that comes different expectations compared to the physician dads before us. With so much changing, where do we turn to to get answers about how to be the dad we always expected ourselves to become? This podcast is designed with the physician dad in mind. I am Dr Jeremy Toffle, physician, husband, father to two boys, and self proclaimed imperfect dad. Through my own struggles as a parent, I have come to find that there are several key core foundations that make up who we are as a parent; if we chose to improve these core foundations, we can strive to be the father we always expected to be. Join me in this show as I discuss each of these core foundations as well as interview experts in various fields of these same principals. I also discuss dad life with new and experienced dads, helping us rediscover what it means to be a dad in the 21st century as a physician and learn to embrace our imperfections along the way. This is the Imperfect Dad MD Podcast

Friday Review - Teaching Prejudice While Watching the Bad Guys Movie

May 06, 2022 • Doctor Podcast Network • Episode 118

Apparently I am really into movie reviews lately and how they relate to parenting.

Today's Friday Review is another movie review - this time with the newly released Bad Guys movie. The premise of the movie seems simple enough - the 5 quintessential bad guys in most story books (Big Bad Wolf, Shark, Tarantula, Piranha, and a Snake) are cast by society as bad guys, so they obviously act bad. They steal. They cheat. And they just don't care.

Yet as the movie goes on, we see them "try" to be good. I won't give the story away here, but it is easy to see how easily swayed the masses are on if someone is "good" or "bad" based on social media posts, hearsay, and general opinion.

What a great message to teach our kids. Most of our kids will be raised with social media as part of their every day lives, sadly. They will have to manage understanding what they see online and trying to decide if it is true or not. They will have to form opinions based on their experiences, and sadly some of those experiences will be in the online world.

Listen in today as I discuss this topic and how I think you can BEST approach it with your own children.
