Hello and welcome to Mom and Dad are Fighting Slate's Parenting Podcast for Thursday,

April 14th, the Positive Opposites Edition. I'm Alison Benedict, an editor at Slate, and the mom of Harry 7, Sam 5, and Wally 3. I'm Dan Koyce. I'm also an editor at Slate, and I am the dad of Harper, who is 8, and Lyra, who is 10. Hi, Dan. Hey, Allison. On today's show, we'll talk to the owner and chef of a vegan preschool about how that

works exactly.

Then Dan and I will debate the latest child psychology trend in parenting discipline,

which is basically, do not punish your kids for bad behavior.

Also, parenting triumphs and fails, a listener email about whether or not to tell

another parent that their kid is difficult. And for a Slate Plus segment, Slate Features Editor,

Jessica Winter will join us to reveal parenting triumph or a fail. But first, announcements.

If you are a fan of the show, there are three, count them three easy things that you can do to help spread the word about mom and dad are fighting.

Thing number one, you can hack into your community's emergency broadcast system and alert, like everyone in town, like in a 75 mile radius through sirens and TV crawls and push alerts on their phones that a new episode has arrived and they should listen to it.
