On this week’s episode, Rebecca, Gabe, and Carvell answer a question from a listener whose daughter is hooked on an “educational” math game—and wants to spend her savings on a premium account. They also hear some follow-up from the mother who wondered whether to let her kid share his chicken-pox infection with the children of anti-vaxxers. Plus: parenting triumphs and fails, recommendations, and more. And on Slate Plus this week, radio host and author Brady Carlson joins to talk about how he uses his smart speaker to get the kids up and out the door in the mornings.
