Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show - Bad Friends Edition

On this week’s episode: It’s Dan’s last show before book leave! Jamilah, Elizabeth, and Dan discuss their triumphs and fails for the week. Then they answer a question from a listener who is wondering how she should help her son navigate a friendship that’s not so friendly. Later, they have some advice for a mother who would like to avoid talking about her daughter right in front of her, but that’s hard to do when you’re a single parent.

In Slate Plus: Summer jobs, entrepreneurial kids, and Dan’s crushing camp counselor file secrets are revealed!

Recommendations:

Jamilah recommends the graphic novel Twins by Varian Johnson & Shannon Wright.

Elizabeth recommends you pack your kids lunches using the PackIt Freezable Classic Lunchbox, the Yumbox and Bee's Wrap!

Dan recommends watching Netflix’s teen show Never Have I Ever with your older kids.
