Episode My Daughter Hates Being Coached
On this episode: Zak, Elizabeth and Lucy answer a question about a four-year-old who’s starting to dabble in classes and sports, and there’s a problem: she hates pretty much all of them, even though she asks to do it in the first place. Should they take a break or work on teaching this kid how to be coached?
We’ll help this kid’s mom out and then check in and share what’s on our minds this week. Then, if you’re hanging out for the Slate Plus Playground, we’re talking about budgeting.
If you’re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you’ll consider joining! Keep reading to learn how.
Zak’s check-in: alternative gift and party chat (party, thrift, Costco)
Elizabeth’s check-in: group project gripes
Lucy’s check-in: preparing for the most un-quinceañera quinces EVER.
