Care & Feeding: Loving An Interrupter
On this episode: Elizabeth, Jamilah and Zak help a member of the Slate Parenting Facebook group who's wondering how to help her seven and five-year-olds \u2014 and especially her son \u2014 learn how to listen. They\u2019re both vibrant kids with a lot of ideas\u2026 so how do you not dull their sparkle, while also getting those lips a little more zipped?\n\n\nWe also check in on what\u2019s happening in the hosts\u2019 lives right now. And then, if you\u2019re joining us for the Plus Playground \u2014 out now in your podcast feed \u2014 we\u2019re discussing a column from The Guardian that says parenting is financially ruinous.\n\nIf you\u2019re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you\u2019ll consider joining!
