My Kid Won’t Stop Saying “Stupid”
On this episode: Elizabeth, Lucy and Zak help a member of the Slate Parenting Facebook group whose almost-5-year-old is stuck on the word “stupid…” and won’t stop saying it.

We’ll weigh who’s right and whether there’s a middle ground.
After that, of course, we’ll circle up to share some Triumphs and Fails.
