My Kid Was Late and Lost Their Helper Day

On this episode: Jamilah, Lucy, and returning guest host Dillon Michael White answer a question from a member of the Slate Parenting Facebook group about being on time. This kindergartener’s class has helper days that you lose if you’re late to school that day… but what do you do when it’s your fault your kid is late? 

After that, of course, we’ll circle up to share some Triumphs and Fails.
