Having a growth mindset can be a pathway to success for kids (and adults). But sometimes a parent's idea of growth doesn't match a teacher's, and then what?

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

Forget the running playlist, the breakup playlist, and the poolside playlist. We have some other ideas for songs to live by.

On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from May 2019.

​A New York Times letter-writer prompted today's chat when she wrote: "It is my belief that children often have more of an impact on changing their parents than parents may have on molding their children." We can't quite commit to that "more" business, but agree that parenting sure has changed us.​

On this week’s Roundabout Roundup, Terri recommends a trip down memory lane with The Big Chill on HBO Max, or an old movie of your choice. Since her kids are no longer at home, Nicole's spoiling her cats with a cute new cat condo. And Catherine suggests a fun thriller novel set at a refuge for monkeys: Florida Woman by Deb Rogers.

Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music, which you hear on every episode.

We borrow once again from the Bobby Bones Show to obsess about whether 12-year-olds should wear thongs or cut their hair in mohawks, and how we feel about our own kids' clothing, hair, and accessory choices.

On this week's Round 3, it's our version of the TikTok #parentingchallenge. Between us and our spouses, who's stricter, funnier, neater, more outgoing? It's a new twist on complaining about our partners--gently! 

On this week's entertainment-themed Round 2, it's back to the ballroom for a new season of Dancing With the Stars. The show is now streaming on Disney+, so you've got to pony up for that service if you want to watch. But benefits include no commercials, an elimination at the end of the show (instead of awkwardly happening a week late), and--at least this week--mostly dancing, little faffing about. Next week: Elvis night.

We're also back in Rutherford Falls for a few more weeks (season 2 has just 8 episodes). There's considerably less sparkle and glitter, but there is a grumpy new curator to help Reagan out. Next: S2 E3, "Aunt Sue."

Here's a lesson learned: Don't ask your kids who their heroes are unless you are prepared for their answer. But we also acknowledge that life off of the pedestal is pretty comfortable.

It's time to return to the urgent question of most recent photos on our phones, and this crop is more exciting than last time: A memorable souvenir, a nimbler-than-expected dog, and some possibly illegal activity.

On Second-Listen Saturday, we share moments from past episodes for your weekend listening pleasure. This discussion is from April 2019.

Target's car-seat trade-in event is happening now [NOTE: This is a replay, but the event really is happening now, September 11-24!], which got us thinking: We have a lot of other kid stuff we'd like to trade in for bigger and better things.
