George taking a little Vacation Time this week. Great to have david here with us on a very busy, busy monday morning and 60 million americans are on alert for that severe weather, michael. Yep, and millions more, robin, are cleaning up this morning. Take a look at this damage in nebraska after two tornadoes moved through that area. Just incredible thinking about all those families. Also much more ahead. The breaking news, unbelievable to see this headline break overnight. Another terror attack in london. This is the fourth now in three months. The assailant using a van to target muslims leaving a mosque. At least one dying, ten injured. Londons mayor calling it a deliberate attack. Terry moran is on the scene. Terry, good morning. Reporter good morning, david. We are in the north London Community of Finsbury Park and behind me here you see this grimly familiar scene, the Police Cordon behind them investigators at the scene of this latest terror attack. That white van rented van right around the corner slammed into a crowd but this time the victims were people emerging from their nighttime prayers, the hatred directed at ordinary british muslims. Overnight terror strikes london again, at least ten injured and one dead on the scene possibly unrelated to the attack. A crowd of worshippers leaving evening prayers targeted in a malicious attack. At 12 15 a. M. Authorities already calling it a major incident. A white van on Seven Sisters road in north london suddenly accelerating veering off the road ramming into the pedestrians leaving behind a trail of broken and bloodied victims and bystanders wrestled the suspect pinning him down until officers arrived. He asked why did you do that, why, you know, innocent people. He goes, i want to kill muslims. Reporter within Minutes Police and emergency crews were swarming the scene shutting down the scene. People tended to the injuring administering chest compressions at the scene. It started as a night of worship. Mosque members are seen here just moments before their night of prayer turned deadly. Horrified nearby residents described a scene of carnage. This latest incident comes as the city of london is still on edge. Officials now call this a terror attack. And it is the fourth terrorist attack in Great Britain this year. Just two weeks ago a white van driving on a London Bridge plowed into pedestrians, the attackers then going on a deadly stabbing spree. This morning, Prime Minister theresa may saying this is a terrible incident. All my thoughts are with those who have been injured. After that van came to a stop right back there, the driver, the alleged aing thatter was grabbed and pinned to the ground and some in the shocked and angry crowd with calling for blood until a local imam said hand it over to police and that probably saved this alleged attackers life. The situation growing more tense in syria this morning after a u. S. Fighter jet shot down a syrian warplane on sunday. Thats the first time the u. S. Has shot down a syrian jet since the conflict began and the first u. S. Airtoair shootdown in nearly two decades. Martha raddatz has more details for us and joins us from washington, good morning, martha. Reporter good morning, robin. This is something u. S. Fighter pilots train for all the time, an airtoair shootdown but the last time they actually executed this move was in kosovo so this is a dramatic turn in syria. The american f18 fighter jet launched by a nearby carrier locked on to the syrian jet after it dropped bombs on u. S. Backed rebel forces fighting isis. Firing that airtoair missile and shooting the syrian warplane out of the sky. The shootdown coming after the u. S. Warned the syrians through the russians to halt their assault on the forces. The u. S. Called the russians on a hotline and said stop attacking, minutes later a syrian jet rolled in and it continued to attack the sdf forces on the ground. Reporter the u. S. Military said the shootdown was justified as part of the collective selfdefense of Coalition Partner forces fighting isis but further complicating u. S. Relations with russia which is backing the assad regime. The best case here is that the syrians and the russians say, okay, weve pushed the u. S. As far as they can go and theyve drawn a line and were not going to cross this again. On the other hand if mr. Putin decides to escalate it it becomes a potentially very dangerous confrontation between the u. S. And Russian Military forces. Reporter and this morning, the Russian Foreign ministry is responding calling this an act of aggression by the United States and a direct breach of international law. David, this is something to watch carefully in the coming days. Youll be watching it, martha raddatz, our thanks to you. The search for answers after a deadly coalition at sea between a u. S. Navy destroyer and a cargo ship that killed seven navy sailors learning new details about the victims and the crash, abcs matt gutman has the latest for us. Good morning, matt. Reporter good morning, david. The navy is calling this one of the worst at sea disasters in decades and abc news learned theres four commissions investigating it. A hellish collision and then trying to save the uss fitzgerald from going down. Overnight the navy releasing the names of the seven sailors found dead in the mangled midsection. They range in age from 19 to 37, their hometowns spanning the country from connecticut to california. But this morning, authorities are trying to figure out why multiple maritime trackers show the acx crystal cargo ship completing a giant uturn just minutes before colliding with the naval vessel. Now, a new twist, the acxs Charter Company denied it pulled the uturn and claiming it happened 50 minutes earlier than the navy. The navy saying the discrepancy is one of the things four investigative bodies will examine but the fundamental question remains how an islandsize container ship managed to tbone one of the navys most sophisticated ships. The navy says at 2 20 saturday morning the 30,000ton container ship nearly gutted the uss fitzgerald. The ships bulbous bow slamming right into the berthing quarters where over 100 sailors sleep slicing open a tenfoot section. The water flow was tremendous so there wasnt a lot of time in those spaces that were open to the sea. Reporter many trapped inside as the water rose. The Captains Quarters also hit. He and two others medevacked. The mother of one of the surviving sailors telling abc news her son and many others fought for hours to save one of the navys most sophisticated missile ships from sinking. They had to fight the ship to keep it above the surface, so it was traumatic. Reporter the investigation will hinge on two major questions, how such a ship with some of the best radar in the world and multiple officers tanked with watching it failed to notice a stadiumsize cargo ship approaching and why this happened. Military officials telling me everything is on the Table Including the possibility this may have been intentional or even a terrorist attack, david. More to come on that. Still such a mystery but so many young sailors lost in that accident if heartbreaking. Keep our eye on that. Severe weather moving across the country. Tornado, flash flooding and more. Its been damaging homes from texas to vermont and well go to ginger tracking it all. Good morning. Michael, ef1 and 2 tornado in bellevue, nebraska. This was the damage. Those were just 2 of more than 500 severe storm reports over the weekend. See them there now with all eyes on the east coast for later today. A weekend of severe storms. From flash flooding in kansas city to cars floating in omaha and submerged near erie, pennsylvania. Baseballsize hail cracking windshields in northeastern missouri and this morning folks in bellevue, nebraska, still cleaning up after tword tornadoes raged across that town. This drone footage showing a street leveled. Roofs lifted from their structure, wooden beams scattered across yards. Weve already had a considerable amount of moisture so you add these strong storm, 1 to 3 inches and flash flood watches that stretch from parts of virginia up to maine. Those are in place mostly for the storms later this afternoon and through the evening hours so drive time, you could see damaging wind anywhere from albany there back to places and even north carolina, but certainly into virginia. Robin, if this is not enough we have tropical storms and track those in a couple of moments. Thank you. Also following a lot of Major Political headlines this morning. A lot of eyes are on a special election in georgia tomorrow. The most expensive house race ever. And the senate is getting ready for a major push on health care. Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell says he wants to pass a bill before the july 4th recess. Also this week the president s soninlaw, Jared Kushner, is heading to the middle east to try and force a peace deal between the israelis and palestinians. This as President Trump faces new questions over whether hes being investigated for possible obstruction of justice. Our senior White House Correspondent is here with us, cecilia vega has the latest. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter good to see you here this morning. You remember that tweet, of course, that caused such an uproar. The president for the first time seemed to confirm that he personally is under investigation. Well, now his team is doing some damage control saying he is not under investigation. A weekend away at camp david, President Trump is now back at the white house and once again under fire. After he sent this tweet saying he is being investigated, now his legal team is making the rounds with this contradiction. The president has not been and is not under investigation. Let me be clear the president is not under investigation. Reporter but the attempts to correct the record leading to more confusion. And now hes being investigated by the department of justice, so hes being investigated for taking the action that the attorney general Deputy Attorney general recommended him to take by the agency who recommended the termination. Youve now said that he is being investigated after saying that no. You just said no, hes not being investigated so i do not appreciate you putting words in my mouth when ive been Crystal Clear that the president is not and has not been under investigation. I dont think i could be any clearer than that. You dont know that hes not under investigation, again, sir i cannot read youre right, i cant read the mind. So were in agreement. Reporter now even some republicans jumping in to defend the man leading the investigation, special counsel robert mueller, senator marco rubio telling the president let mueller do his job. The best thing that could happen for the president and the country is a full and credible investigation. Reporter and on this one, democrats in agreement. We ought to let him do his job. He is just Getting Started. Reporter there is another big deadline looming this week. The House Intelligence Committee gave the administration until friday to hand over any evidence of white house recordings if, in fact, they do exist. A lawyer for the President Trump says he plans to make this announcement this week about the tapes but the same lawyer said the same thing last week. When it comes to the investigation once again, it seems like the white house is sending out these mixed messages. Completely mixed messages. In the end the lawyer ended up conceding that he had not heard factually or directly whether the president is actually under investigation. But once again, just like with this issue with the tapes and of the investigation this is an example of President Trump getting ahead, contradicting his team on twitter, really going off script from the white house messaging and hes causing a lot would say problems for himself with that. Thats why were left with this. Depending on which sunday show you were watching you got a different answer. Cecilia, thanks. More to that high stakes special election in georgia, the most expensive house race ever being so closely watched by both sides of the aisle and mary bruce tracking the race from capitol hill. Good morning, mary. Reporter good morning, david. Well, this is a defining test for both parties and this morning it is still too close to call. This is a solidly republican district that trump barely won by just one point and now democrats are hoping if they can win it will serve as a referendum on the president betting on 30yearold newcomer jon ossoff and betting pretty big. He has pulled in more than 23 million, the most expensive house race ever going up against karen handel vying for Republican Voters who may be uneasy with the president. If she wins this will be a demoralizing blow to democrats who have to rethink their entire strategy heading into the midterms. Tough fight but now both campaigns are speaking out against an ad particularly offensive and wanted to show people at home what it was all about. Now the unhinged left is endorsing and applauding shooting republicans. When will it stop . It wont if jon ossoff wins on tuesday. Trying to connect or link the democrat, jon ossoff, to the shootings last week in washington, mary. Reporter yeah, and, david, both candidates this morning are blasting this ad. Jon ossoff is saying it is disgraceful and hes calling on his opponent to denounce the ad and asked it be pulled down. Karen handel stopped short of that but calling is disgraceful and disgusting. Ossoff hasnt mentioned President Trump in his campaigning. How concerned is the white house about how close the race is with the republican . Reporter yeah, david, no question they are going to be paying very close attention to this. This race will be an indication of how the president and his agenda is resonating with voters especially moderate republicans. Well be keeping a close eye as voters head to the polls tomorrow. Mary bruce, thanks. To amy with an unfortunate story. We had a similar case in the u. S. , a muslim teen leaving a mosque. Now an arrest has been made in the murder of a 17yearold girl who was leaving a virginia mosque. Nabra hassanen walking with friends when police say she got into some sort of dispute with a man in a vehicle. Police say 22yearold Darwin Torres attacked her with a baseball bat. Her body was later found in a pond. Police are looking into whether this was a hate crime. Overseas dramatic images from portugal where thousands of firefighters are trying to contain historic forest fires blamed for at least 62 deaths. Many were burned in their cars while trying to escape down a road thats now being called death highway. Authorities in london have raised the death toll following that massive fire in a highrise apartment building, 79 people are now confirmed dead as the recovery operation continues there. British Officials Say the exterior siding may have been illegal. There is some encouraging news about congressman steve scalise.

E. , parents against underage smartphone that might be a tough sell. I want him to dom over and try to take my kids phones away. The big surprise at the u. S. Open Golf Tournament this weekend, the winner, brooks koepka, well, he shot a record tying 16 under. That is what you call hot.

A lot to get to this half hour. First new questions about bill cosbys future, the judge declaring a mistrial in his Sexual Assault case. Prosecutors are now calling for a retrial. Were going to hear from bill cosbys attorney live but first linsey davis has the latest. Reporter cosbys lawyer says hes concerned about his Clients Health and the toll this trial took on the soontobe 80yearold that is of little concern to the prosecutor who is already focused on the next trial. Right after the mistrial announcement he confidently told reporters the last time he retried a case after a mistrial was 1992 and he got a conviction. [ chanting ] reporter this morning, bill cosby is a free man. Raising his fist in victory after a mistrial was declared after a jury of 12 remained deadlocked after more than 50 hours of deliberations. 52 hours of having 12 perfect strangers deliberate on your fate. Reporter cosbys wife released a statement saying i am grateful to any of the jurors who tenaciously fought to review the evidence, which is the rightful way to make a sound decision. Adding some harsh words for the District Attorney calling him heinously and exploitively ambitious and the judge overtly and arrogantly collaborating with the District Attorney. After the decision, the District Attorney immediately announced plans to retry the 79yearold comedian. Were going to retry the case. I said it in court. Theres of no pause or hesitation about that and were moving forward. Reporter moving forward means the prosecution will likely revisit their initial petition to have 13 of the more than 50 cosby accusers testify in the retrial. A big part of the case is trying to establish a pattern on the part of bill cosby. Well see if those witnesses testify. They may significantly impact the outcome in a second trial. Reporter as for jury selection, the Media Attention surround cosbys case is likely to be complicated. For his first trial cosbys lawyers requested the jury selection be moved 300 miles across the state of pennsylvania hoping to find unbiased jurors. While the judge has said he would like the retrial to begin within 120 days, the prosecutor has said that legally they have 365 days to retry him but hopes to do it as soon as possible. I know youve been on the case since the start. Brian mcmonagle, the criminal attorney for bill cosby, joins us live. Brian, thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. I want to start with camilles words over the weekend, big cosbys wife. You heard linsey report she took on the d. A. Calling him heinously and exploitively ambitious and calling the judge overtly collaborating with the d. A. Are you concerned that those words from Camille Cosby could affect a retrial since youre dealing with the same judge . The judge who presided over our case did a remarkable job. Balancing the needs of mr. Cosby and the prosecution and more importantly the hard working jurors that came 300 miles to hear our case. As we sometimes see, the people that are most affected by these case, the families, dont have a great appreciation for our roles and what we do. I know that we were personally vilified during the trial and i think when youre looking at mr. Cosby, youre looking at a wife who believes that the system is unfairly treating her husband and victimizing her husband. Ive seen this before. Ive seen it again and i dont believe itll have any effect on our trial. You heard the d. A. Say well retry the case. There was no hesitation there. Are you concerned that theyll try again with their original hope to have 13 of the accusers testify before the jury. You know, i think the judge took a great deal of time critically analyzed the law and came to an inescapable conclusion here that the law doesnt permit it. It doesnt permit unproven, old accusations to be used in a trial. The problem here is thats the very reason were here. The parties walk add way from this case 14 years ago. Were only here because of those unproven accusations and i believe and i know in my heart that the judge will not reverse his decision and will give us a fair trial as he just did. Brian, you said mr. Cosby began this trial presumed innocent and he leaves that way adding there were no winners here. Im curious, there were many accusers who came forward over the last year or two and Many Americans know bill cosby from the cosby show considered americas dad at the time. What would you say to americans who looked and heard these stories and some who believe that he could be guilty here . How do they reconcile the two consumers theyve come to know . What i would say to them is simply this, trust the system. Right now theres one accusation in a court of law and weve just had a trial. None of these accusations have ever been vetted. None have ever been put to the test or crossexamined and the one time that it has happened, fairminded people couldnt come to a conclusion so i would say to them presume innocence and trust the system. Brian, what would you say to all those women who came forward . What i would say to all of mr. Cosbys fans and some of the folks on the other side of this, we have a wonderful criminal Justice System in this country, trust it, believe in it, and im confident that if this case is retried hell be acquitted. You said the judge, you heard he asked the retrial within 120 days. Are you ready and will you defend bill cosby again in court if there is a retrial . If mr. Cosby asks, then i will answer the call. But we are all just trying to get a little rest, recover, it was an agonizing process, jury deliberations were 52 hours so were all trying to mend and heal and then well make some important decisions in the days to come. 52 hours, as you mentioned, those jurors certainly put in the time to deliberate the case. Brian mcmonagle, defense attorney for bill cosby, brian, we do appreciate your time here this morning. Thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. All right, david. Well move on.

Reporter its called electric shock drowning usually cautioned by a short in the wiring of a power source at a dock, marina and boat. We met this couple last year.

Reporter now with its technology reaching for our refrigerators, many are wondering will the giant still dominate every aspect of our shopping. The deal also prompting some very funny reactions on social including this tweet referencing amazons ceo bezos. Alexa, buy me something from whole foods. Alexa, buying whole foods. Bezos, oops. And then there was this one. All i can hope for is free prime delivery on my groceries from whole foods. All kidding aside this is a huge game changer for groceries and seen amazon change the world. Now theyre aiming at groceries. Someone also said i also spent 13 billion at whole food. Donny deutsch. We know its a big story. Amazon, when they sold books way back. I interviewed bezos in 2007 when he was just selling books and remember during the commercial break he said, im just Getting Started. The irony is hes just Getting Started now. Ill introduce ontail, retailing and online combined and basically what hes realizing and this is just the first category is you can combine the two. Youre going to see in the whole foods situation where people may be online buy their canned goods but issues when you want the touch factor when you want to buy meat and fish and things like that so the stuff is waiting for you when you come in but then you just get your perishables so all kinds of combinations and see this with pharmaceuticals to come. This is just the beginning. Four out of ten dollars on line goes to samson. Think about that. Just about half of Everything Everything in this country is amazon. Stunning. And, rebecca, theyve always been on the cutting edge of technology. But a lot of people wondering and you kind of alluded to it how will it change the way you shop for groceries. This is a ceo, jeff bezos who is obsessed, obsessed and he continuously hammers this point home with all of his employees, obsessed with what the consumer wants and knowing what the consumer wants before they even know. So convenience. The biggest change you might see are in their stores. Amazon go, for example, one of their stores is cashierless. You dont necessarily need to wait in a checkout line anymore. Theyre completely reimaging that instore experience. Also you have alexa. Now alexa, you can place your ors through alexa, get your groceries that way and because they know what you want before you know it, you dont even necessarily have to place orders in the future. Thats scary. Theyll deliver it to you. Every aspect. Some people are saying a little worried. Jeff bezos has a quote that says you will be irresponsible as a human being if you dont have shop through amazon. Thats kind of a stunning set of words. They are the difference between this company and every other company before them theyre not in the car business but the buying of stuff business so you go, where does that go . And one day they buy nfl rights and it just doesnt stop. You name whatever we do buy, think, consume, they can go in that business. How big is too big and at what point could people have concerns it could become a monopoly . Right now it appears to be a good thing for consumers because theyve driven down prices and made things more convenient. The other question is workers, already this year retailer workers have been losing jobs by the thousands and that is a key question Going Forward for the whole chi. Of a stock tip for everybody. Buy amazon. Love it when youre both here. Love that im going to be a guest on your podcast. Looking forward it that. Thank you, robin. This might come up.

My 30year marria. My 3month old business. Plus. What if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i made a point to talk to my doctor. He told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Goal nitedhealthcare, you can get rewarded for waldad.

Back now with the important new study on kids health first reported in the New York Times magazine about how getting your kids to exercise may help boost their grades. Thats right. Daily exercise has been shown to reduce an important kind of fat and could help your brain power so lets bring in dr. Jennifer ashton who says this is the real deal. Really interesting study. They looked at schoolage children ages 8 to 10 about 400 of them divided them into two groups. Half of them got five days a week about two hours a day of physical activity. Moderate physical activity. You know, the kind you would get playing on a playground. The other half did their routine normal stuff. They did not change their diet. About half of the children in this study were overweight or obese and the findings were significant. The group that exercised not only lost weight which we expect, they lost that dangerous belly fat or visceral fat and those kids performed better on cognitive testing. Again you expect the number on the scale to go down. You dont expect the number on the test to go up and this study really points to that relationship between that dangerous visceral fat and the way our brains function. Wow. Do we know the mechanism that connects losing weight to we dont yet. Thats the Million Dollar question but there are a couple of theories. Number one that visceral fat, we heard exercise, even a little bit 20 minutes a day talking about for kids or teenagers increases powerhouse, mitochondria from our biology class and decreases body fat and fat is active and reduces inflammation also so all of these theories are being looked at. What suggestions do you have to parents to get their kids moving . Oh, boy, everyone has to find what works for them. I think the first thing any parent or educator will say we have to lead by example. Its no longer sufficient to tell our kids you have to do this but well do something else. I think family contests based on activity is something that could be fun. You know, you could set a chart and put on the refrigerator and give rewards to someone who wins. Sports league, fitness classes, theyre all over the place and i think it would be fun to do your own experiment in your own house and say well do this for a couple of hours a day, lets see, not only who loses weight and looks better but who does better in school. Yeah. I think this is well hear a lot more about this type of research and the brain fat connection is just as important as what we look like. Uhhuh. I love that, though. Really important. Coming up a remarkable story. How this educator is using his Health Setback to teach and inspire his students, lara will bring this story to us next. Hi,. People ask why i switched to sprint.

You know, thats my worst part of making transformers is most of the time youre in a harness and youre stretched to these cables and somebody is yanking you somewhere or flipping you around. Thats the thing i hate the most and we worn harnesses quite a bit. One thing i love about you your posts with your four kids and you just posted something to congratulate mikey on his football season. You got to be proud if my wife now who was really nervous about him playing football is now like i cant wait to sit at the nfl draft and watch them get picked. Lets have a backup plan. No, no way.

I know they mean it and thats like having a 13yearold daughter. Its tough. Its hard going through it, but, you know, at the end of the day when she says she loves you, that means the most.

You made us believe. You kept us off the street. When you didnt eat, you made sure we ate. You went to sleep hungry. You the real mvp. Reporter today wanda shares encouragement with others to believe in yourself and never give up. [ applause ] i love how youre smacking him. Well, i was kind of lost in the moment there. Tugging on his goatee. I didnt even realize i did it i was like, wow. What was that moment like for you . It was i felt fulfilled as a mom. When he gave the speech and he talked about me in the speech a few years ago, i felt like he got it. He understood why i was the type of mother that i was but demanding, right . Yes, i was. Sometimes a little psychotic but at that moment i felt like he i was fulfilled as a parent because it was like all the hard work really paid off. How did you help him, wanda, both on and off the court . On the court i would i was very demanding. In practice and workouts, the coach would say,o 25 pushups and i would come in with my flippant attitude and say, do 250 and he would look at me like how dare you but he had so much respect for me that he wouldnt dare talk back and so i just told him how to go beyond what was required and always dig deeper. We heard in his acceptance speech in 2014 when he was the league mvp and such an emotional moment and saying, like there were times that you didnt eat so they could eat. The sacrifices that you made as a single mother to your two boy, tony and kevin. And there are other parents that have gone through or are going through difficult times. How did you get through it and whats your advice to them to help them get through those difficult times. Well, i was determined early on as a young mother that i was going to be present with my children. I was going to be engaged and it didnt matter what i had to sacrifice for their success. I knew i wanted different for them. I had learned from my mom the sacrifice for her family and so thats what i did but i wanted them to live their dream. I wanted them to set a goal for themselves and not just live life as a survivor but as a thriver. I love that, yes, as a thriver. As you put it, you know, if you there had to have been times that you wanted to quit but if you quit that would be quitting on your kids. There were several times that i wanted to quit but the look in their eyes kept me going and i just couldnt be a quitter. No matter how hard it was, i couldnt be a quitter for them then i learned later on i couldnt quit for myself. Right. That i was important too. And i know you want to share what you have learned and what you have caught your children to help others that are in a similar situation. We reached out to people on twitter and on social media and asked them questions and angela who is a dear viewer of our program she said, id love to hear momma durants advice to parents families on three ways she built motivation and hard work into their sons life . Primarily it started with me. I accepted a responsibility of a parent. I knew that it was important and vital for that foundation to be successful men. And then i decided that my life was secondary. Their lives was the most important so i was engaged, i was involved. I was present. I was what you would call a hovering mother. I was always there. So i knew who their friends parents were. I wanted them to be around people, children whose parents had like values as mine. The men i had in their lives was very important to me and then i required them to set goals. Academically and future goals. Im glad you said academically as well. T. Johnson, how can parents notice and nurture potential in their young people. I know kevin early said i want to be a pro basketball and you sent him away and said, son, think about it. He came right back. He came right back, yeah. Being engaged with your children helps you to identify characteristics for certain professions or certain hobbies or interests. And it just happened to be basketball for us and so i think just being engaged, youll be able to identify the artistic characteristics in your child, the academic prowess in the athletic ability and able to identify if youre there and present so thats what i wouldo. Yes. I love that. Youve done the work. Yes. Very deserving of that ena love like your son you want to share with others, wanda durant, momma durant, its wonderful to be in your presence. Wish you all the best. Theres more to her story. Stay tuned. Thats what wanda time.
