It’s Thanksgiving. My heart is just a little more conspicuously on my sleeve at this time of the year, and childhood is somehow always on my mind. In that vain, I have something old and something new:

First, a reflection from Book 1, Episode 3 on letting your kids be themselves—whatever a self even is.

Second, I’m joined by my colleague Natalie Roxburgh to discuss Julie Beck’s recent article in the Atlantic, “Why Did We All Have the Same Childhood?”

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
