On this episode: Zak, Lucy and Elizabeth answer a question from our Slate Parenting Facebook group about a 7-year-old who’s at home being naked at home. It’s not really a problem right now, but with puberty around the corner… will it be?

We also dole out a round of recommendations — and then, for Slate Plus, we offer suggestions for mess-free (or mess-minimal) car snacks.

Zak recommends: The Daily Dad Newsletter by Ryan Holiday  

Lucy recommends: Planet of the Apes

Elizabeth recommends: Murdle Puzzle Book
