On this week’s episode: Zak, Jamilah, and Elizabeth answer a complicated question about navigating unwanted attention—especially if the attention may be chalked up to a child’s appearance. Then they are joined by Deborah Farmer Kris, parent educator, education journalist, children’s book author, and founder of Parenthood365. They talk about how to help kids identify and manage their emotions—and what parents can learn themselves in the process. Check out Deborah’s new book I Love You All the Time. On Slate Plus, they discuss Just How Helpful Is Childhood Therapy? by Melinda Wenner Moyer. Recommendations:Elizabeth recommends Night Zookeeper.Jamilah recommends Hey Girl! empowerment journal.Zak recommends Teen Lives, Interrupted by COVID. Listener-recommended Resources:Judi's House resourcesWhen Dinosaurs Die: A Guide to Understanding DeathWhen Someone Very Special DiesHelp Me Say GoodbyeLove is ForeverLifetimesThe Invisible String Finding the WordsIf you want to listen to the original question, here’s the episode: The “Taking a Toddler to a Funeral” Edition.Join us on Facebook and email us at [email protected] to ask us new questions, tell us what you thought of today’s show, and give us ideas about what we should talk about in future episodes. Podcast produced by Rosemary Belson. Learn more about your ad choices.
