Care & Feeding: Is My Kid Ruining Hikes On Purpose?
On this episode: Jamilah, Zak, and Elizabeth answer a listener question about a kid who seems dedicated to making family hikes suck. He\u2019s energetic and capable during other activities, but long walks are full of whining and fussing. What could this listener do to get him excited about family walks\u2026 and are there any options that aren\u2019t making every walk a treasure hunt?\n\nWe also check in on what\u2019s happening in the hosts\u2019 lives right now. And then, on the Slate Plus Playground, we\u2019re sharing a round of recommendations and a round of anti-recommendations.\xa0\n\nIf you\u2019re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you\u2019ll consider joining!
