On this episode: Lucy, Zak and Elizabeth think about summer break. There’s a budding conversation in the Slate Parenting Facebook group about the life skills we should have kids work on over the summer – think shoe-tying, kitchen stuff, and riding a bike. We’ll share some of the Facebook Group’s ideas, and some stuff we’re going to work on.
We’ll also 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 gentle parenting… and more specifically, the movement to ditch it.
If you’re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you’ll consider joining! Keep reading to learn how.
Lucy’s check-in: thoroughly “in it.”
Elizabeth’s check-in: the great shoe caper.
Zak’s check-in: don’t go to every birthday party.
