Summary
On this episode: We dig into our overflowing mailbox and read some delightful letters about fourth grade weddings, emergency entertainment, and more! Then Zak, Jamilah, and Elizabeth advise a listener who is uncomfortable with how her friends parent their child. Our listener has tried to combat the parents’ unrealistic expectations and overcorrections but only sees the child once a year. Is there a good way to voice these concerns?
Recommendations:
Elizabeth recommends the Philips Sonicare app for kids.
Jamilah recommends Red Lip Theology by Candice Marie Benbow.
Zak recommends reading an actual book before bed.
