On this week's group chat, we find out whether Nicole brought her daughter's homework to school after last week's podcast, laugh at our kids in a good way, get some app tips from an OT, and share some stuff we've liked and we've made. Here's your road map to the episode: 5:52 That Parenting Dance of Do You or Don't You — Kids will never learn how to survive failure if we don't let them fail, sure, we know that, absolutely, and yet, who wants to stand back and let your kid fail? We're finding the not intervening thing to be easier said than done, but on occasion we do manage to foster a little independence and admire the power of shame.  24:46 Speed Round: Things Our Kids Do That Make Us Laugh — We're not laughing at them, we're laughing with them as we admire the funny things our kids do, from impressions to dances to wry zingers. 29:51 Parenting Roundabout Roundup — Terri sees procrastination potential in the photo markup app Skitch; Catherine likes some new features of iOS 10 Mail; and Nicole has some important info about emojis that everyone inappropriately using the flirting one needs to know. 35:40 Interview of the Week: Meghan Corridan — Catherine chats with pediatric OT Meghan Corridan about worthwhile iPad apps for kids. For more on the apps mentioned, visit Meghan's blog, MAC&Toys.  48:30 Shameless Self-Promotion — Terri has some thoughts on Speechless on her Parenting Isn't Pretty blog; Nicole has an article on "5 Easy Ways to Teach Students with Intellectual Disabilities in Your Classroom" she wants to share; and Catherine has a belated Walk to School Day post on five reasons to walk, scooter, or bike to school on her VeryWell site. Thanks as always to Jon Morin for our fun in-and-out music. If you're reading this somewhere without hyperlinks, come to http://parentingroundabout.com for the full recap experience.
