Summary

On this episode: Zak, Jamilah and Elizabeth help out a listener who’s not sure why their family’s bedtime routine isn’t working. Their school-aged kid just won’t settle down sometimes, even after storytime and lights out – so what other tools are out there?


We also share a round of recommendations, and a round of your own tips and tricks for flying with kids.


Elizabeth recommends: Google Chrome Library Extension 

Za recommends: Puppy Chow, aka Muddy Buddies, with milk 

Jamilah recommends: No Hard Feelings
