On this episode: Zak, Jamilah and Lucy answer a question about a very independent kindergartener. This member of our Slate Parenting Facebook group has a six year old who’s taking solo walks around the neighborhood... and while his parents are cool with it, the neighbors aren’t.

We also dole out a round of recommendations — and then, for Slate Plus, we debrief on Lucy’s first prom mom experience... and reminisce on proms of yore.

Lucy recommends: Having your kids interview older folks

Zak recommends: Kids clothes shopping at Salvation Army
