On this episode: Zak, Jamilah, and Elizabeth advise a parent whose first grader got mad at her for looking up ‘girl sweaters’ online. The first grader has also previously said that they want to be a boy, not a girl. Our letter writer wants to be supportive but doesn’t know if she should go all-in or sit back and let her kid reveal who they are.  Additional resources:  The Center How to Be a Girl  Supporting My Nonbinary Teen (Part one of ‘Teen Talk’)  We also have an exciting update from the listener who couldn’t handle the seat-belt war and occasionally let them drive unbuckled.  Recommendations:  Jamilah recommends chicken with miso caramelized apples, based on this pork chop recipe.  Elizabeth recommends Dot to Dot In the Sky: Stories of the Aurora by Joan Marie Galat Zak recommends this Naomi Fisher Twitter thread on child development Join us on Facebook and email us at momanddad@slate.com to ask us new questions, tell us what you thought of today’s show, and give us ideas about what we should talk ab
