About this episode
On this episode: Jamilah, Zak, and Elizabeth tackle a question about an introverted seven-year-old. She gets along with her classmates and is invited to parties but once she arrives, she keeps to herself. Her parents want to make sure she’s comfortable and having a good time—even if she’s not fully participating. Then on Slate Plus, inspired by this article in Metro Parent , the hosts discuss what parenting trends they’d like to see in 2023 and which ones they wish would disappear.
