Summary

On this episode: Zak, Elizabeth and Jamilah are talking about being the place to be. This member of the Slate Parenting Facebook Group takes pride in being the place where their tween and teen girls hang out with their friends… but being the “cool parent” does come with some serious responsibility, and that’s what our writer is worried about. And then, we’ll circle up for a round of checkins… and on Slate Plus, Elizabeth has a philosophical dilemma. If you’re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you’ll consider joining!
