Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show - My Toddler’s a Hitter. Should His Brother Hit Back?

On this episode: Zak, Jamilah and Elizabeth help a listener who’s actually written in to us before — but this time, he needs help with his brawling toddler. How can parents help their littler kids simmer down – and older kids defend themselves – before anyone gets hurt?We’ll also share some of the letters and voicemails that listeners have sent in recently. And we’re doing a round of recommendations, with a twist: in the spirit of Giving Tuesday, we’re sharing charities that we love to support. Zak recommends: Standing TogetherElizabeth recommends: Conservation Fund (or, sign up for a beach/river/creek clean up)Jamilah recommends: Girls for Gender Equity 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.
