Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show - Wrangling Preschool Tornadoes

On this episode: Elizabeth, Jamilah, and Zak help a mom who feels like her house is in chaos. She wants to know what rules and expectations she can have of her kids now they’re approaching preschool. Can they help out with chores? Should they be expected to not fight at the dinner table? What, if any, punishments are acceptable? They talk about Julie Beck’s article, Why Did We All Have the Same Childhood? on Slate Plus. If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.
