Episode My Son Is Ruining Our Summer
On this episode: Jamilah, Elizabeth, and Dillon Michael White help a listener whose kid is struggling hard to enjoy the summer break… and complaining about everything in the process. How can this parent nip the negativity in the bud and prevent a bad attitude from ruining everyone’s break?
We also check in on what’s happening in the hosts’ lives right now. And then, if you’re joining us for the Plus Playground — out now in your podcast feed — we’re talking about how to handle sharing kid stuff for a big audience of strangers online… including the uglier stuff that comes with it.
If you’re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you’ll consider joining! Keep reading to learn how.
Jamilah’s check-in: where are the Black teachers?
Elizabeth’s check-in: the car ride wormhole.
Dillon’s check-in: the big 0-8.
