  • Dumping Best for Good Enough
    Dec 15 2023

    This chapter of Bluey Bros refers to episode 1:34, The Dump. In this podcast episode, we discuss the “good enough” parent and the role and importance of parental imperfection. We refer to the works of Sir Ken Robinson, David Winnicott, Martha Nussbaum, Avram Alpert, and Aristotle as we think about how Bandit navigates the difficult process of moving from a paragon of fatherhood to an imperfect person who is a father. We discuss the importance of aiming for good enough as opposed to perfection and how our failures produce important opportunities to demonstrate how we repair situations and relationships when we inevitably fail.

    Dec 10 2023

    This chapter of Bluey Bros refers to episode 1:33, Trampoline. In this podcast episode, we discuss the work of children, also known as play. This episode pulls at a couple of strings, including parental guilt, navigating negotiation with children, and the role play occupies in children learning about the world. We touch upon the classic song Cats in the Cradle, which Cory attributes to Cat Stevens, but should have given credit to Harry Chapin.
