On this episode: Lucy, Jamilah, and Dan Kois help a member of the Slate Parenting Facebook community who’s wondering how to help her teenage son through the rite of passage that is shaving. We’ll also help out a listener whose six-year-old is an overzealous shaver, and talk through whether it’s a real problem.
We also dole out a round of recommendations. Then, for Slate Plus listeners – we’re relaunching our Plus offerings and welcoming you to the Plus Playground. This week, we’re offering an additional round of recommendations, and we’re debriefing on two recent, controversial, columns that Dan wrote for the Care & Feeding web column.
If you’re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you’ll consider joining! Keep reading to learn how.
Dan recommends: Before Sunrise, especially for teens
Jamilah recommends: Watch a bad movie together (on purpose)
Lucy recommends: My Spy: The Eternal City
