On this episode: Zak, Jamilah and Elizabeth answer a question from our Slate Parenting Facebook group about the eternal struggle of the messy preteen bedroom. It seems like no matter what you do, there just keeps being stuff. Everywhere. So, we’ll offer some practical suggestions to help.
We also dole out a round of recommendations — and then, for Slate Plus, we muse on how anyone expects anyone to manage a summer camp schedule.
Elizabeth recommends: 2 Player Games: The Challenge (google play & app store)
Zak recommends: Play Cafes like Kidcadia
Jamilah recommends: the Slate Parenting Facebook Group
