Care and Feeding | Slate's parenting show

Acne Flashbacks Edition

On this week’s episode: Dan and Elizabeth are joined by Doyin Richards, Care &amp; Feeding columnist, bestselling children's author, and founder of the Anti-Racism Fight Club. They counsel a mom who had terrible acne growing up and now is stressing over her son’s breakouts. Then they have a question about a little boy who is obsessed with gender norms and a mom who’s worried she’s obsessing about it too much.
