Care and Feeding | Slate’s parenting show
Kids & Family:Parenting
On this episode: Elizabeth Newcamp, Zak Rosen, and Jamilah Lemieux help a member of our Facebook group brainstorm ways to keep a 4th grader occupied… that don’t revolve around screentime. With busy schedules and parents working from home, it’s hard to be hands-on. But we have some ideas.
We’ll also share a round of recommendations — and then, if you’re in the Slate Plus club, we’ll dispense some highly subjective wisdom about the best times to do… well, everything.
Recommendations:
Elizabeth recommends: ordering a specialty meal on airplanes
Zak recommends: the Hairstreaq brush
Jamilah recommends: Ugly Betty
