Care & Feeding: Does My Toddler Need Shorts Under Her Dress?
On this episode: Zak, Lucy and Elizabeth help a listener whose daycare has requested that her toddler daughter wear shorts underneath skirts and dresses. The listener\u2019s knee-jerk reaction is that it\u2019s unnecessary\u2026 but we\u2019ll offer some suggestions about what she could be missing, and why how we dress our kids is important.\n\nWe also dole out a round of recommendations, and share some stuff you listeners have been loving \u2014 and, for our Slate Plus listeners, we\u2019ll talk about the way we choose baby names, and how hard it is to escape the popular name hivemind.\n\nZak recommends: Lake drawing app\nElizabeth recommends: Shakespeare Insult Generator book or online\xa0\nLucy and Amelia recommend: \u201cThe Throne of Glass\u201d\xa0\n\nJoin us on Facebook and email us at careandfeedingpod@slate.com to ask us new questions, tell us what you thought of today\u2019s show, and give us ideas about what we should talk about in future episodes.
