Your Boss Won't Let You Whine (Plus a Bonus Conversation About Sleepovers) #009

Of course your kids have never whined before. But, just in case it does ever happen we discuss a few ways that might help teach them to stop without giving in or getting angry. A look at how patiently preparing them to be adults can be a less confrontational way to nip whining in the bud. Because someday they will have a boss, and she will not let them whine on the job!

Then, we transition (at the 18:45 mark) to the challenges of kids' devices at  sleepovers. Our interest in this topic was piqued by a recent experience and a great Wall Street Journal Tech News Briefing podcast.

Inspired by the idea of kids, whining, and bosses, The Stat of the Week is all about the unemployment rate and the economy. Thanks to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) for some "fun" facts.
