In this week’s edition of Slate’s parenting podcast Mom and Dad Are Fighting, Slate editors Allison Benedikt and Dan Kois get schooled on child safety by the bureau chief of Arlington County Child and Family Services, Tabitha Kelly, and an anonymous teacher advises on teacher gifts. Then, Father’s Day. How good is Dan at various traditional dad tasks?
Other items discussed in the show:
- Kim Brooks writes in Salon about what happened when she left her son alone in the car.
- Arlington County Child and Family Services.
- How to field a grounder and crow-hop for the throw.
Mom and Dad recommend:
Allison recommends the game “trash can football,” for which there is no link, and no Internet presence, that’s how awesome it is.
Dan recommends a game called Ho Ho. It combines learning and plummeting from terrifying heights. Also, not online.
