Description

In episode 16 we are joined by Vince, a friend of Jason and dad in the meetup group.  Although the audio on Vince’s mic is hard to hear, Vince provides additional insight as the father of 2 young boys. We start with the mailbag with an email from Daniel who writes about how he feels his children should be doing more things on their own versus his wife who still helps the child with many tasks.  We discuss how kids are very capable and Jason refers to some information he received in the Susie Walton’s Joy of Parenting course for age appropriate tasks: 1-2 years old – carry dishes to kitchen, throw away diapers 2-3 – help sort laundry, help make beds 4-5 – prepare cold cereal, set and clear the table 6-8 – vacuum, make their own lunches for school 9-10 – clean bathrooms, wash dishes We mention the Diaper Genie which Alan was not familiar with.  Then in Stuff to do, we dive into a discussion about the the book 50 Dangerous Things (You Should Let Your Children Do) By Gever Tulley.  We mention a few of the dangerous things as Vince shares his experience, but here are the 50 things: Lick a 9-volt Battery Play in a Hailstorm Master the Perfect Somersault Kiss Hello Like the French Stick Your Hand Out of the Window Drive a Nail Drive a Car Throw a Spear Make a Bomb in a Bag Play with the Vacuum Cleaner Throw Rocks Play with Dry Ice Boil Water in a Paper Cup Put Strange Stuff in the Microwave Throw Things From a Moving Car Drop From High Places Burn Things With a Magnifying Glass Walk Home From School Climb on the Roof Squash Pennies on a Railroad Track Spend an Hour Blindfolded Bend Steel Break Glass Construct Your Own Flying Machine Look at the Sun Learn Dramatic Sword Fighting Make a Slingshot Climb a Tree Perform on the Street Dam up a Creek Go Underground Change a Tire Dive in a Dumpster Deconstruct an Appliance Go to the Dump Poison your Friends Fly Your Homemade Kite in a Gale Learn Tightrope Walking Cook Something in the Dishwasher Find a Beehive Cross Town on Public Transit Break the Recipe Rule Book Whittle Make a Rope Swing Play with Fire Superglue Your Fingers Together Melt Glass Explode a Bottle in the Freezer Sleep in the Wild Your Project The last segment of the episode is Light Her Fire in which Dr. Ellen discusses how women want a man of steel (strength) and velvet (softer side) and provides examples of each of those.
