On this week’s episode: The hosts answer listener questions about a teen in need of some support about their sensitive mom and what to do about a little that likes dressing up as problematic princesses. We also welcome Aminta Steinbach as this week’s special host. As usual, we share our triumphs and fails and offer up some recommendations. On Slate Plus, Aminta talks about life as a live-in aunt.

Recommendations:

Dan recommends clearing out your backyard and letting nature take its course.

Aminta recommends the book Not My Idea: A Book About Whiteness by Anastasia Higginbotham.
