On this episode: Elizabeth, Zak and Lucy help a listener who left us a voicemail about their little athlete who\u2019s just not great at baseball\u2026 and he also gets upset when the game doesn\u2019t go his way. If this kid were an adult, it\u2019d be time to have an honest conversation about knowing your strengths. But how does that conversation work with a kid?\n\nAnd after that conversation, of course, we\u2019ll also debrief on our week in parenting with a round of triumphs and fails.\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.
