In this week’s edition of Slate’s parenting podcast Mom and Dad Are Fighting, Slate editors Allison Benedikt and Dan Kois are joined by Sarah Carr, editor at Columbia Journalism School’s the Teacher Project, on the Every Student Succeeds Act. Then, Dan takes a trip to the mall. Plus triumphs and fails, and family therapist Dan Griffin answers a listener’s email on how to rebuild trust after hitting your child.

This week on Slate Plus, Faith Smith unveils a very relatable fail, which she handled in an extremely unique way.

Mom and Dad recommend:

Dan recommends the picture book, Divorce is the Worst by Anastasia Higginbotham. He also recommends his own game, Ace of Hates, which is now for sale.

Allison recommends a fun family outing: cutting down your own Christmas tree. Here’s the one she and her family visited.
