On this episode: Zak, Elizabeth and Jamilah help a listener who just got told that her toddler is overweight. Now, she’s wishing the pediatrician hadn’t said anything — and she’s also feeling like she failed as a parent. So, we’re here to explain how she didn’t fail… and talk about what healthy bodies can look like.
And then, we’ll circle up for a round of checkins… and on Slate Plus, we muse on whether it’s just a phase.
If you’re not part of the Slate Plus community, we hope you’ll consider joining! Keep reading to learn how.
Zak’s check-in: un-unibrow?
Elizabeth’s check-in: date with Oliver <3
Jamilah’s check-in: age brackets
