Episode Notes
On this episode: Elizabeth, Jamilah and Zak help a listener whose 6-year-old has started telling them “f*ck you.” Swearing is allowed in their house but this feels pointed and categorically different than a casual curse. How can they curb the cursing before it gets worse?
Recommendations:
Jamilah recommends giving Flaming Hot Cheetos a second chance.
Zak recommends The Nugget
Elizabeth recommends Edx Education Fun Play Number Rods.
