How parents can handle a child's 'lying phase'
SUMMARY: In a recent segment, parenting coach Kyla Mata discussed the common issue of children going through a “lying phase.” Many parents reflect on their own childhood, realizing they weren’t as adept at lying as they thought. Mata emphasized the importance of creating a safe and open environment at home, fostering communication, and demonstrating honesty. She advised parents to set an example by owning up to their mistakes and explaining the reasons why lying is harmful. This phase is normal and many families experience it, so parents shouldn’t feel alone. For more resources, viewers are encouraged to visit at.com.

Morning Forecast – Tuesday, Feb. 25th
SUMMARY: This morning, thick fog persists across the region, requiring cautious driving until it clears by late morning. Today’s temperatures will rise from the 30s and 40s to the mid-60s by lunch, peaking at 73°F in the afternoon. High pressure will keep conditions stable with calm winds. Tonight’s lows will drop to the mid-40s. Recent rainfall has caused the Was River to rise to around 31 feet, expected to crest at 32 feet this weekend, below action stage. The forecast indicates continued mild weather into next week, with potential light rain and clouds increasing mid-week.

Dense fog has developed this morning with all the leftover moisture in place in the wake of the rain we got on Sunday. Winds are calm, and skies are mostly clear. Patchy fog cannot be ruled out for tonight as there is still plenty of moisture in the air. High pressure will shift further southeast prior to a front arriving late Wednesday night. Clouds will increase, and a patchy shower cannot be ruled out early Thursday morning. Temperatures will stay mild for the rest of the week. More rain seem likely early next week.

Neighborhood parades once dominated the West Bank, now only three roll
SUMMARY: The crew of Music is now one of just three parades on the West Bank, a significant decline from the 11 that rolled 30 years ago. Many crews, like Cleopatra and Alla, have moved to the East Bank, leading to nostalgia among residents who recall the family-oriented atmosphere of past celebrations. While just a handful of West Bank parades remain, including two later this week, the local community hopes for a resurgence. Experts suggest that stable leadership in Uptown parades has contributed to their longevity, raising questions about whether the West Bank’s parade tradition can be revitalized.

If you ask revelers from the West Bank if they remember the krewes that are now extinct or have moved to the Uptown route, they will share their fond memories.
