Weekly Roundup: “The Girl Who Reads on the Métro,” Clockify, and Negative Self-Talk

Parenting Roundabout

Here's what we're reading, recommending, and revisiting this week.
Catherine's library find is a slim, slightly twee French novel, The Girl Who Reads on the Métro by Christine Feret-Fleury. She doesn't give it a full-throated endorsement, but if you'd like to vicariously visit Paris and you love books, you might enjoy this. (And if you'd like to help us define the words "quirky" and "zany," leave us a comment on Instagram, X, or Facebook).
​
Terri's random recommendation this week is a productivity tool she's trying called Clockify. It's helping her work with her distractible tendencies, instead of fighting against them.
In the archives, we checked in on an episode from 2020 on the challenges of turning negative self-talk around, in our kids and even in ourselves.
Next week's lineup:

• Lost S2 E13, "The Long Con," on Tuesday, March 18
• A Man on the Inside S1 E8, "The Spy Who Came in from the Cold," on Wednesday, March 19
• Weekly roundup on Thursday, March 20

Until then (and anytime you're in need), the archives are available.
