Summary

On this episode: Elizabeth, Jamilah and Zak help a listener whose six-year-old has started telling them “f*ck you.” Swearing is allowed in their house but this feels pointed and categorically different than a casual curse. How can they curb the cursing before it gets worse?

Recommendations:

Jamilah recommends giving Flaming Hot Cheetos a second chance.

Zak recommends The Nugget

Elizabeth recommends Edx Education Fun Play Number Rods.
