My In-Laws Have Guns. I Don’t Trust Them.

On this episode: Elizabeth, Jamilah and Zak help a listener who’s worried about firearms in their in-laws’ home. They have a strained relationship already, and a recent argument led to threatening words that are lingering. If this parent wouldn’t let their kids be in a friend’s house with guns, should family be an exception? We’ll also debrief with a round of triumphs and fails — including two triumphs about the beauty of abandoning ship.

When – and Why – Are Teens Using Cannabis?

On this episode: Zak sits down with Dr. Nicole Schultz of UC Davis to talk about teens and marijuana. It’s a different world than when we were growing up — so we have Dr. Schultz share her understanding of why and how teens are using cannabis. Elizabeth, Lucy and Jamilah also share a round of recommendations — and then, for Slate Plus, our mom-hosts circle up to talk about how they remember being talked to about drugs… and whether DARE worked on, well, anyone.

Should I Allow Compliments About How My Kid Looks?

On this episode: Elizabeth Newcamp, Zak Rosen, and Jamilah Lemieux answer a question that someone actually posed to Jamilah on Instagram… about whether it’s okay to entertain compliments about your kid’s appearance. A facilitator at school has suggested redirecting to character compliments when this toddler — the only Black kid in her class — is praised for her appearance. But is there place for just calling a cute kid a cute kid? We’ll also do a round of recommendations. And then, in the Slate Plus realm, we’re talking about a piece in NYTMag… [asserting that the teen subculture as we knew it is dead] (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/21/magazine/aesthetics-tiktok-teens.html?smid=url-share) .

On this episode: Elizabeth Newcamp, Zak Rosen, and Lucy Lopez answer a question from the Slate Parenting Facebook group… wondering what counts as a good grade, and what the consequences should be at home for bad grades.

We’ll also share a round of recommendations — and then, if you’re in the Slate Plus club, we’re assembling our own [toddler book tolerability index] (https://lithub.com/the-toddler-book-tolerability-index/) .

C&F After Dark: Couples’ Therapy

On our second C&F After Dark episode: we know that Valentine’s has come and gone. But we’re not done talking about grownup stuff! Elizabeth, Zak and Lucy each sit down with their spouses — Jeff, Shira and Geno — to talk through a problem they’ve had as a co-parenting couple. The hosts chime in on each others’ problems, too. It’s an advice extravaganza… and, dare we say, a love-fest? Then, we’ll wrap up by testing how in-sync our hosts are with their spouses. It’s time for a round of the Newlywed Game!

C&F After Dark: Sex and Parenting

On this episode: Elizabeth Newcamp, Zak Rosen, and Jamilah Lemieux talk about the birds and the bees. Parents don’t often get to talk about their sex lives out in the open… So this Valentine’s week, we thought we’d open the door to all things romance. First up: we answer a listener question about managing different sex drives and all the normal parenting stuff. Then you’ll hear from resident single mom Jamilah about the logistics of swiping and dating with a kid in the house. We’ll also share a round of recommendations — and then, if you’re in the Slate Plus club, we’ll basically have a “hating Valentine’s Day” support circle. Recommendations: Elizabeth recommends: [Super Simple Biology] (https://amzn.to/49jBLDS) Jamilah recommends: [Grilling your PB&J] (https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/49943/grilled-peanut-butter-and-jelly-sandwich/) Zak recommends: Recording your kids' laughter and dating it.

My Kid Has Zero Personal Bubble

On this episode: Elizabeth, Zak and Jamilah advise the parent of a handsy kindergartener. The little girl comes from a cuddly family and just doesn’t have a sense of personal space… and it’s impacting her school experience as a result. How can a parent help teach the value of a bubble? Zak found two books that might be helpful: [Personal Space Camp] (https://www.amazon.com/Personal-Space-Camp-Julia-Cook/dp/1931636877) and [Personal Space Invader] (https://www.amazon.com/Harrison-Spader-Personal-Invader-Little/dp/1515827232/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2O8BSM3T8QI87&keywords=personal+space+invader&qid=1707250211&s=books&sprefix=personal+space+invade%2Cstripbooks%2C178&sr=1-1) .
