Care and Feeding | Slate’s parenting show
Kids & Family:Parenting
On this episode Elizabeth Newcamp, Zak Rosen, and Lucy Lopez help a listener whose toddler has suddenly developed what looks a lot like panic attacks at preschool. Nothing seems wrong at school… but the girl’s dad has been deployed for a while. What’s happening here, and how can you soothe someone so little about such big stuff?
Elizabeth wants to share these resources:
We’ll also share a round of recommendations — and then, if you’re in the Slate Plus club, we’ll play a round of parenting Would You Rather.
Recommendations:
Zak recommends: Life On Our Planet
Elizabeth recommends: Timeline Twist Cardgame
Lucy recommends: Orion and the Dark (out Feb 2 in the U.S.!)
