On this week’s episode, Rebecca, Carvell, and Gabe talk to psychotherapist Lynn Lyons, co-author of Anxious Kids, Anxious Parents, about kids’ anxiety and what parents can do about it. Carvell answers a request for follow-up from a father who wants to send his sons to camp—but worries they’ll be the only black kids there. Then the panel answers a question from a listener whose daughter is beginning to fill the house with “treasures” from a free-stuff box in the neighborhood. Plus: triumphs and fails, recommendations, and on Slate Plus a parenting fail and a guilt trip from a toddler from Slate director of technology Greg Lavallee.
