Learning Via Laptop

1/31/2022

0 Comments

 
Prompted by a researcher's "hey that's not what I meant!" article on note-taking by laptop, we discussed the ups, downs, pros, and cons of kids using laptops and other tech to learn. Plus, what happens when hackers take out a school district's technology (hint: It's not pretty).

Speed-Round Sunday: Amusement Park or Beach?

1/30/2022

0 Comments

 
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.

This or that: Sand and a sunburn or roller coasters and expensive fun? We're not all that enthusiastic about either one, TBH.​

Second-Listen Saturday: Haunted By High School

1/29/2022

0 Comments

 
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from January 2020.

Not only are we obsessed with embarrassing things that happened to us in high school, we're obsessed with trying to protect our kids from having the same obsession (and some of the other growing pains that come with adulthood). ​

Roundabout Roundup: AirPods, Asgard Ankle Rain Boots, and Wordle

1/28/2022

0 Comments

 
On this week’s Roundabout Roundup: In spite of the skepticism she once expressed about AirPods, Terri has now acquired a pair and thinks they are pretty cool. Nicole left the desert to visit Vancouver and brought some cute rain boots with her. And Catherine's totally on the Wordle train (but not spamming her Facebook friends with her daily results). 
​​
Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

Group Screams

1/27/2022

0 Comments

 
Some moms might find a group primal scream therapeutic, but we're not buying it. We don't want witnesses to our screaming, so we suggest some alternatives.

Moms on Call

1/26/2022

0 Comments

 
An article titled "Being the Mom of Older Kids Is an On-Call Position" definitely resonated with us. Our kids might not cry for us in the middle of the night anymore, but they still need us!

What We’re Watching: Ted Lasso “Midnight Train to Royston” and “Inverting the Pyramid of Success”

1/25/2022

0 Comments

 
On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, we wrap up our Ted Lasso watch with the final two episodes of season 2. It's the less universally beloved season, and we definitely have quibbles with some of the storylines. But we still enjoyed it very much, and look forward to season 3. Next week, a George Clooney double feature: Up in the Air (2009), in which he stars, and The Tender Bar (2021!), which he directs.

Pondering Praise

1/24/2022

0 Comments

 
An article about uncertain incentives led us to talk about whether our kids are motivated by praise that's intermittent or constant. Say it with us: Parenting is hard! Motivating kids is hard!! Also mentioned: Transforming the Difficult Child: The Nurtured Heart Approach by Howard Glasser; Funds of Knowledge by Norma Gonzalez, Luis C. Moll, and Cathy Amanti; our most recent discussion about motivation.

Fact check: Terri said she heard about the article "Uncertain Incentives" on the podcast No Stupid Questions. But while she did read the article at about the same time she listened to the similarly themed "Which Is More Powerful: Reward or Punishment?" episode of No Stupid Questions, it in fact came in her email as a Tip of the Week from Character Lab, which she heard about from No Stupid Questions cohost Angela Duckworth. It was not something that was mentioned on the podcast episode.

Speed-Round Sunday: The Worst Diet You've Been On

1/23/2022

0 Comments

 
On Speed-Round Sunday, we share a mini episode from our past for your weekend listening pleasure.

It's a delicate subject, but we do all have some bad diet story or other, from grapefruits to cabbage to partial vegan. There's one we give thumbs-up to, too.

Second-Listen Saturday: Technical Difficulties

1/22/2022

2 Comments

 
On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from January 2020.
​
New phone frustration has us wondering if we're too old to be technically savvy, or if it's technology that needs to do a better job meeting our needs.
