Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show

Is Nudity in Art OK For Kids?

On this episode: Lucy and Zak are joined by special guest host Chris Duffy to talk about the power of a painting. Our listener has a piece of art hanging on her wall that features some nudity — and it recently startled a crew of kids over for a playdate. Should the painting be moved, or taken down? Or is our listener just becoming the fabled Cool Art House?

We’ll also debrief with a round of parenting Triumphs &amp; Fails, and share an update about the parent who sparked the great shorts under skirts debate.
